By Sadiq Aminu The Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy has embraced the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025 with the inauguration of the Core Performance Management Team for the new Ministry.
Permanent Secretary Oloruntola Olufemi, who inaugurated the team of the ministry, charged them to work with zeal and commitment in achieving the Key Results Areas of the policy.
He recalled that the Performance Management System (PMS) is one of the Six (6) Pillars of Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025, launched by the Office of Head of Service of the Federation towards evolving the civil service into a professional, efficient and merit-based workforce.
He urged the Directors from all the Departments to cascade the policy to their staff, stressing that they must align themselves with the goals of Mr. President and the office of the Head of Service in actualising the ideals of the plan.
“On this day today, we launch our resolve to implement fully the Performance Management System (PMS), our team will ensure that the PMS becomes an integral part of our day to day work and our career progression.”
“Performance Management, as some people might think, is not Premium Motor Spirit, but it is, in fact, premium motor spirit. It is the fuel that will run what we do. It is not just a ritual, it is, in fact, the foundation and the fundamentals of how we do what we do.”
Mr Olufemi challenged every staff member of the Ministry to play his or her role in the delivery process of nation building, pledging total commitment and support of his office to the task.
Director Maritime Safety and Security, Mr Babatunde Bombata, observed that performance management system is one of the reforms of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation that need to be cascaded from the hierarchy to the least staff of the Ministry.
Director Planning Research and Statistics, Mrs Kalthum Ibrahim, pointed out the importance of the PMS to a healthy service delivery process, urging the staff of the Ministry to key into it.
