The enforcement of a merit-based system, professionalisation, digital reform, and competitive remuneration are pivotal changes to rebranding the Federal Civil Service Commission ( FCSC ) for improved civil service.
Prof. Tunji Olaopa who is the Chairman of the FCSC said this on Thursday in Abuja during the 2026 International Civil Service Conference organized by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF).
According to Olaopa, the enhanced performance of the civil service is tied to merit-based processes and guidelines spelt out in clear terms and aligned with the federal character policy and ethical discipline, transparency, accountability.
He said that all this had been taken into consideration in the strategic plan of the commission to rebrand it and optimise its performance.
He noted the importance of digital reform as a great component of the strategic plan to make technology to drive the FCSC secretariat to change it from its slow and paper-heavy status that is prone to loss, damage and human error.
