Walson-Jack reintroduces civil service anthem ‘to drive reforms’

Esther Walson-Jack, head of the service (HoS) of the federation, has reintroduced the federal civil service anthem.

Walson-Jack unveiled the “rebranded” civil service anthem during a meet and greet event with media executives and journalists in Abuja on Monday.

During the event, the audio and video clip of the civil service anthem was unveiled.

The HoS said the lyrics of the anthem would encourage civil servants to be “efficient, productive, incorruptible, and citizen-centered

“The anthem has been reintroduced to drive the reforms. It is expected that the anthem will be sung by all civil and public servants and indeed Nigerians.

“It will be an anthem that will encourage every public servant to imbibe the lyrics of the anthem which is just saying to us that we must be efficient, productive, incorruptible, and citizen-centered.

“So that epic culture is what we are hoping that the anthem will create and it will be something the civil servants will actually exemplify, that every civil servant will be efficient, productive, incorruptible, and citizen-centered.”

She said her leadership is executing initiatives in the civil service in line with the federal civil service strategy and implementation plan 2021-2025

“You will recall that the office has the federal civil service strategy and implementation plan 2021-2025 and that is the plan that we are still driving,” she added.

“However, we have resolved to bring on board creativity and innovation to accelerate that plan.

“The six pillars which represent the ongoing reforms require adequate coverage so that the implementation can be fast tracked and the federal civil service delivers on the renewed hope agenda.”
