The Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation has launched an Online Compendium of Circulars for the Federal Civil Service.
Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, launched the online compendium as part of the landmark activities to mark her 100 days in office.
Walson-Jack stated that the innovation is designed to ensure that circulars are easily accessible to every civil servant, no matter where they are.
Mrs. Walson-Jack also underscored the importance of accessibility in governance, noting that the compendium is a significant leap toward simplifying a shared vision of a more connected, efficient and transparent civil service that would advance progress in service delivery and promote good governance.
She further stated that the Compendium will give access to critical information for civil servants, and the general public and also serve as an invaluable tool to foster transparency, reduce administrative bottlenecks, significantly achieve the civil service’s overreaching goals and efficiency, accountability, and improved service delivery.

The compendium consolidates 980 circulars issued since 1995, sourced from 25 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs, and authored by 130 contributors.
Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary Service Policies and Strategies Office, Dr. Deborah Odoh, said the initiative is aligned with the broader objective of the strategic plan’s vision to have a world-class civil service that contributes maximally to national development.
Dr. Odoh noted that the ultimate and far-reaching goal of the present Head of the Civil Service of the Federation is to breed a group of professionals and a merit-based workforce that is acceptable and responsive to citizens and other stakeholders.
