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.

How To Deal With Anger? According to Zodiac Signs

Image
Aries Aries is a fire sign, so if someone crosses them, obviously they are going to burn him or her. Most of the people think that they should remain careful near the presence of an Aries. The reason behind this is that people don’t want to annoy the Aries. They fear about what might happen when the Aries loses him patience and becomes angry. However, the perfect approach for an Aries to get rid of the anger is to let the inner junk out, but you must find a better way to throw the junk out than lashing out on someone without a reason. You can hit the punching bag or you run around. You can also try to put all this negative energy in something more creative and productive. Taurus A Taurus does not get angry quickly. They hold long grudges and tend to deliver some sort of silent treatment if someone hurts them. They do not let anybody inside their emotional life. If you cross a Taurus once, they will become hostile towards you. The behavior of a Taurus become passively aggre...

Image
A woman was shot dead by a US police officer after she called 911 to report hearing noise outside her house. Justine Damond, 40, an Australian woman due to get married next month, thought the noise might be a possible assault taking place outside her home, so she decided to get the police involved.

Image
A Kenyan woman has listed the reasons Nairobi women admire Nigerian men and they are quite interesting! According to Cate Mukei, Nairobi women love Nigerian men so much that they would walk through Sahara desert without water and food just to get one. "Some even go to an extent of praying about on to their pastors or signing up to online platforms where they hope to find ogas. Naija brodas on the other hand seem to have mastered some of the weird reasons why our women love them and have perfected them." Below are some of the reasons Nairobi women admire Naija brodas: 1. Visa holders Mogaka you can keep your Nyamira Express bus ticket we are flying to Lagos. Kenyan women naturally love visa holders. In fact they love anybody who was born beyond Eastern Africa. This is a free ticket to flying out of their country, taking selfies and filling our social media timelines in the name of having traveled 'abroad'. 2.

Nigeria: 37 Feared Killed in Fresh Southern Kaduna Crisis

Image
At least 37 people are feared killed and many others seriously injured in fresh crisis that broke out in Kajuru Local Government Area in Southern Kaduna. The latest trouble was said to have started since Sunday when some Fulani youths allegedly went to a village at Ugwan Uka to avenge the killing of their kinsman. Kajuru Local Government is about 50 kilometres from the state capital, Kaduna. The fresh killings show that the efforts by the government at the state and federal levels to check violence have not been effective. The umbrella body of Fulani, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria on Saturday alleged that four of its members were killed by youths from the troubled Southern Kaduna. The group had alleged that youths from Kadara and Gwari communities in Kajuru were responsible for the killings. The National Secretary of the association, Ibrahim Abdullahi, while addressing a press conference in Kaduna claimed that the incident occurred when some ki...

Over The Counter (OTC) Drugs The New Craze Among Youths - Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, Former DG NDLEA

Image
When we watch foreign movies and television shows and see young people abroad using hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, we can’t help but be grateful that our children are not gone that way. Despite being labeled as one of the top drug peddlers across the world, Nigeria remains one of the lowest when it comes to cocaine and heroin usage. The common argument is that these drugs are too expensive and far away from our youths’ reach. Also, we believe that our strict moral and religious teachings have kept our youths safe from drugs and only a few ‘wayward’ kids and transport operators are into the habit. This, according to new reports, is a wrong notion. We are quick to equate hard drugs with cocaine and heroin. Meanwhile, your child may be high on hard drugs right now without you knowing it, yet they appear not to have ever touched any of those drugs. The former Director General, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, pointed out that “40 per cent of our y...

Batshuayi nets twice as Chelsea ease past Arsenal

Image
Michy Batshuayi scored twice as Chelsea hammered Arsenal 3-0 at the Bird’s Nest stadium on Saturday in a Chinese edition of the London derby. Batshuayi doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 42nd minute and then curled in a long-range effort shortly after the break to show new signing Alvaro Morata that he intends to fight for the main striker’s role next season. Chelsea outclassed a tired-looking Arsenal side throughout this preseason friendly and had taken the lead through Willian in the 40th minute, with Batshuayi getting the second less than two minutes later. Arsenal may blame tired legs for this defeat as it was the last of four games they have played on a two-week tour of Australia and China, while Chelsea were playing their first match of their preseason trip to Asia. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte also played arguably his strongest possible lineup, while Arsene Wenger started academy prospects Cohen Bramall and Ainsley Maitland-Niles and made mass changes at half-time. St...

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 . But the song has now been overtaken by another music video - Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's  See You Again .

I put my pride aside — and I’m very prideful. I was like, ‘You know what? I actually want to be with this person. So guess what, Chyna, you need to go live in this lady’s house,’ which is his sister,” says Chyna. ” ‘There’s no bad blood or whatever, so be a family and figure it out.’ I moved in and one week later was like, ‘You know what?
