Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir
El-Rufai, on Monday launched the state public service revitalisation and
renewal programme to restore professional pride and upgrade skills
levels to match the best public services in the world.
Speaking at the launch of the programme
which was attended by stakeholders in Kaduna, el-Rufai said his
administration was elected on a platform of change that recognised the
central role of the public service in delivering public goods and in
promoting good governance.
The governor maintained that it was now
time to implement Kaduna manifesto commitment to reform the public
service, restore it to the high standards of its founding “and to enable
it to live up to the substantive meaning of the phrase, ‘public
service’”
El-Rufai noted that the reform programme
also offerred a much-needed window to inject the vibrancy of youth into
the public service.
His words: “Due to the embargo on civil
service recruitment that was imposed in 2008, and other factors, there
are not enough young persons in the service. Government will
deliberately recruit and inject young and motivated personnel to make
the public service better.”
The governor added: “Having more young,
well-educated persons in public service ranks will also result in the
public service more closely reflecting the demography of the state it is
serving.
“Therefore, we have for weeks now opened
a job portal on the state government website and ran jingles inviting
young people to upload their CVs there.
