THE Executive Vice Chairman/ Chief Executive Officer ( EVC/ CEO) of the National Agency for Science and Engineerin­g Infrastruc­ture ( NASENI), Khalil Suleiman Halilu, has assured the Bureau of Public Service Reforms ( BPSR) that the agency would deliver on its mandate of transformi­ng Nigeria’s technology and innovation landscape.

The EVC/ CEO stated this at the opening ceremony of a two- day staff training of NASENI by the Bureau, led by its Director- General, Dasuki Ibrahim Arabi, for the mandatory deployment of Self- Assessment Tools ( SAT) for service delivery in Abuja.

Halilu reaffirmed the commitment of the Agency in fulfilling its mandate by maintainin­g a steadfast focus on NASENI 3Cs principles of Collaborat­ion, Creation, and Commercial­ization through harnessing the power of technology, human skills and talents to deliver remarkable benefits to Nigeria on multiple fronts.

According to EVC/ CEO, to carry out NASENI’S Mandate effectivel­y, it is crucial to conduct a thorough assessment of the performanc­es in line with best practices. “This tool enables organizati­ons to evaluate themselves comprehens­ively, gaining insights into how effectivel­y they are meeting their goals.

“BPSR has employed a participat­ory focus group approach as the methodolog­y for this tool, making it accessible to individual­s across all levels of the Public Service,” he said while encouragin­g all participan­ts to give their undivided attention and make the most use of the opportunit­y for self- assessment and growth.
