Olaopa Seeks Citizen-centred Reform in Public Service
The adoption of citizen-centred reform in public service is fundamental to democratic consolidation in the country, Prof. Tunji Olaopa has declared.
Olaopa , the Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), spoke on Tuesday in Abuja on the topic “The Public Service in Challenging Times: Rethinking Praxis for More Inclusive and Innovative Reform” during the Nigeria Public Service Lecture marking the United Nations Public Service Day organised by the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) .
According to Olaopa who was the guest speaker at the event, public service reforms have not yielded expected results because they have failed to include the citizens who constitute the bedrock of democracy.
Consequently, he urged that future public service reform should be citizen-centred in order to strengthen democracy.
