FG seeks more input into civil service reforms



The Federal Government is receiving more inputs from civil societies and other stakeholders to strengthen the National Strategy for Public Service Reforms (NSPSR). This was disclosed yesterday in Abuja by the Director-General of the Bureau for Public Service Reforms (BPSR) Dr Joe Abah at the Revalidation Session of the NSPSR.

He said the reforms was first articulated and completed in 2009 as a coordinating mechanism for integrated reforms but articulated recent issues like the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and improvement in the budgeting system.

According to him, although key aspects of the strategy have been implemented, it has never formally been approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF) Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita who is the Vice Chairman of the Steering Committee on the reforms, said it was aimed at developing and deepening the capacity of government to consistently translate national strategic intents into action.

Davido shows off his new mansion

Image
Singer Davido is definitely living up to his 30 billion in his account claim. In a recent post on Instagram, the Omo Baba Olowo showed off his new crib and from the looks of it, he is super proud of his latest achievement. Trust his fans to hail him. At age 25, Davido, in monetary success, has gained more than millions of Nigerians far older than he his. The singer who never fails to rhyme about his material wealth left a lot of fans wishing to be him after he showed the gorgeous house he built with his own money. Many say Davido is the master of cockiness, however his behaviour is justified. At least with the house news he dropped on the internet, it is safe to say he puts his money where his mouth is. But money is not all Davido is good for, the singer is currently on tour and has been shutting every city he steps into down. We guess having a weighty bank account and being a master singer is the only way to truly live like Davido. Source NAIJ.COM

Kidnapping, Badoo Killings And The Rising Level Of Insecurity In Lagos. A Must Read...

Image
Lagos CP Fatai Owoseni By New Independence Group Close to 60 days after the now sadly famous six schoolboys of Igbo Nla in Epe were abducted while studying, anxiety continues to mount over their safety, as fears are now being expressed over the possibility of unpalatable reality that the kidnappers, having been paid substantially, are unable to return them as a result of the unthinkable. At the New Independence Group( NIG), we earnestly pray and hope for the safe return of the kids, in the hope that they are not already traumatized beyond what they could bear. It is very worrisome that children are being routinely grabbed even from the allegedly fortified walls of schools by criminals, as a means of extorting parents, rightly or wrongly, regarded as well off. It is terrifying for parents to worry daily about their kids returning safely from school, bearing in mind the possibility of a strange, heartrending call about their abduction. It is doubtful too, that the remaining stud...

The surreal video became so popular that it  "broke" YouTube's play counter , exceeding the maximum possible number of views (2,147,483,647), and forcing the company to  rewrite its code .
