Payment System Reforms
Health Sector Reform; and
Service Delivery Reform (SERVICOM)
These reforms are based on government’s determination to enforce efficiency
and effectiveness in resource management, reduce corruption in public
service, and improvement of service delivery of public institutions.
3.5.2 The need to reposition the Public Service as a world class service provider that
will accelerate national growth and development caused the President to set
up a Presidential Committee on the Review of the Reform Processes in the
Nigerian Public Service, in March, 2011. Led by Alhaji Adamu Waziri Fika, the
Committee was assigned to undertake a study of previous public service
reforms, assess their impact and examine the structure of MDAs in relation to
manpower utilization for effective service delivery. Also in March 2011, the
Federal Government signed into law, a new National Minimum Wage in order
to improve the performance of public officers and provide a living wage for
Nigerians.
