Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede Leads Public Service Reform in Nigeria

Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, a prominent figure in banking, is now championing public service reform in Nigeria. His initiative aims to restore excellence and discipline in the country's public institutions, driven by the belief that no nation can thrive above the quality of its public sector.

Aig-Imoukhuede's vision is rooted in the need for new public sector leaders who are competent, integrated, and accountable. He emphasizes that the private sector cannot replace the state's role and advocates for a return to meritocratic recruitment in public service.

His foundation is investing significantly to reverse brain drain and enhance governance quality, partnering with institutions like Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government. Aig-Imoukhuede's commitment was highlighted during the inaugural International Civil Service Conference (ICSC) in Abuja, where he discussed the importance of rebuilding Nigeria's public sector capacity and the need for rigorous training of future public servants.
