The Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation (HoSF) has emphasised the need for the Nigerian Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to ensure strict compliance with Service and Establishment matters towards making their organisations stand the test of time.

Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, Head of Civil Service of the Federation, disclosed that government agencies that do not have proper structures may eventually crumble, as they may not be able to weather possible storms in the future.

Abdul Ganiyu Aminu, Director of Press and Public Relations, Office of the HoSF, in a statement issued March 25 in Abuja, FCT, said that Dr. Yemi-Esan stated this when she received, on a courtesy call, Hajia Saratu Shafi, Chairman of Competition and Consumption Tribunal (CCPT), and Mr. Babatunde Irukera, Executive Vice-Chairman/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), in her office Thursday, in Abuja.

The statement noted that the HoSF urged the Commission to be prepared to defend its manpower position in order to have a solid structure from the start.

The organisation must stand firm and be strong, said she.

While advising the Commission to ensure that essential manpower budgeting was carried out properly before recruitment, Yemi-Esan assured that her Office would render the necessary support to enable the Commission achieve its mandate.

Mr. Irukera, in his remarks earlier, said the Commission would appreciate the assistance of the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation on issues relating to organogram, recruitment, training and accommodation to enhance smooth take off.

According to the FCCPC Chief, Nigeria is one of the top 19 countries that did not embrace competition framework in time, thereby giving rein to business monopoly.

This development has now been redressed as competitiveness has been added to the mandate of the Commission, Irukera said, adding that this will go a long way in breaking monopoly in the scheme of things in the country.

Alhaji Adamu Ahmed Abdullahi, Executive Commissioner, Corporate Services at the FCCPC, accompanied the Executive Vice-Chairman to the meeting, the statement added.
