Edo Model for Service Inter-Units' Collaboration Presented at ICS Conference

The Edo State Government has presented its model for service inter-units' collaboration at the maiden edition of the International Civil Service (ICS) Conference held in Abuja. The Conference, themed "Rejuvenate, Innovate and Accelerate," brought together over 5,000 delegates and participants from across Nigeria's Federal and states' civil services, as well as representatives from other countries.



In a keynote address, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, described the Conference as historic and a strategic step toward redefining public administration in an era of dynamic global change. He emphasized the importance of the Civil Service as the bedrock of governance, an engine of innovation, strategy, and public trust. President Tinubu noted that the Civil Service is always there as the fountain of knowledge and reservoir to bring the future together, and that it is an innovative institution that ensures today's needs are met and tomorrow's challenges are overcome.

The Conference served as a strategic platform for redefining governance in the modern era, with over 30 participating nations committed to building a smarter, more inclusive public sector anchored on technology, integrity, and innovation. The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Dr. (Mrs.) Didi Esther Walson-Jack, asserted that the Conference was a declaration that Public Service must no longer lag behind. She emphasized the need for the Civil Service to evolve into a hub for agile, resilient, and solution-driven governance, and for a decisive shift from planning to implementation; ideas to measurable change.

The Edo State Model on breaking silos and promoting inter-units within the Service was presented at the Conference. This model is expected to promote collaboration and innovation within the Public Service, leading to more efficient and effective delivery of public goods and services. The presentation of the Edo State Model is a significant step towards promoting inter-agency collaboration and improving the overall efficiency of the Public Service.

The HCSF called on public servants to bring their best ideas and open hearts, and to be prepared to serve as they have never done before. She emphasized the importance of collaboration, innovation, and technology in driving public sector transformation. The HCSF also commended the Edo State Government for its innovative approach to public service delivery and encouraged other states to follow suit.

The Conference is expected to have a significant impact on the Public Service in Nigeria and beyond. The presentation of the Edo State Model and the discussions at the Conference will likely lead to the adoption of best practices and innovative approaches to public service delivery. The Conference also provided a platform for public servants to share their experiences, challenges, and successes, and to learn from each other.
