Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack has officially taken over as the new Head of Civil Service of the Federation, HoSF.
Taking over from Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan on Tuesday, Walson-Jack said she is committed to fast-tracking the reforms in the service.
The handing-over ceremony took place at the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation on Tuesday, the retirement date for Yemi-Esan.
In her acceptance speech, Mrs Walson-Jack thanked God Almighty for taking her to the pinnacle of her career.
She also appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the trust and confidence reposed in her to serve the nation, promising to honour the achievements of her predecessors by continuing and fast-tracking ongoing reform initiatives in the service.
She reiterated the maximum use of technology in driving transformation in the service. The new Head of Service promised to maintain, enforce and deploy the core principles of the service, namely Accountability, Meritocracy, Professionalism, Loyalty and Efficiency (AMPLE), in all her dealings.
She, however, beckoned on all stakeholders and civil servants to support the vision and mission of the service towards the realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration.
Earlier, the retiring HoSF, Yemi-Esan, prayed to God to sustain her successor and give her the necessary strength and wisdom to excel, in the overall interest of the service and Nigeria in general.
DAILY POST recalls that on Monday, August 12, 2024, President Tinubu, before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, swore in the newly appointed HoSF. On this occasion, Mr President admonished her to serve the nation with integrity and transparency.
Didi Esther Walson-Jack is the author of the novel ‘Roses in the Thorns’ and is happily married with children.
