He promised that the commission would continue to work with relevant stakeholders, including heads of service, planners, economists and human resources professionals to deepen the conversation on development and also find the right kind of incentive.

The President of the Nigerian Economic Society, Professor Adeola Adenikinju acknowledged the importance of the Federal Civil Service as the engine room of governance; stressing that every government must invest in the civil service to achieve success.
