The Head of Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF), Mrs Didi Walson-Jack, and her UKs counterpart, Rt. Hon. Simon Case, have agreed to collaborate, strengthen ties and advance Nigerias civil service reforms.

The move was made when Walson-Jack met with the UK Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service, Rt. Hon. Case in his Cabinet Office in London.

Mrs Eno Olotu, Director, Communications, office of the HOCSF said this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.

Olotu said that key discussions of the meeting focused on capacity building, knowledge management, and enhancing Nigerias Civil Service Week, drawing inspiration from the UKs annual Civil Service Live conference model.

The meeting focused on sharing knowledge and best practices to support Nigerias ongoing reform initiatives under the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP) 2021-2025.

Both parties agreed to explore exchange programmes and study tours to facilitate mutual learning, with an emphasis on knowledge sharing, she said.

According to Olotu, the UK is committed to sharing its insights on civil service development while recognising the value of learning from Nigerias experiences.

She said that the collaborative effort would strengthen the partnership, with both civil services, enhance each others capabilities and foster mutually beneficial relationship.

The meeting underscores the commitment of Nigeria and the UK to building efficient and responsive civil services, with continued partnership and support in the years ahead, she said. (NAN)
