Tinubu, Jonathan Celebrate Didi Walson-Jack's Legacy
On August 26, 2023, President Bola Tinubu, represented by Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology Dr. Kingsley Udeh, and former President Goodluck Jonathan, among others, celebrated Didi Walson-Jack, the outgoing Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, during the launch of her two memoirs, “I Planted: A Memoir of Purposeful Service” and “Beyond the Mandate: A Memoir on Leadership, Legacy and Labour of Public Service,” at the Abuja Continental Hotel. Tinubu commended Walson-Jack as a distinguished public servant who effectively repositioned the federal bureaucracy.
He noted her exceptional leadership and the importance of documenting her experiences for future generations. Jonathan praised her courage in transitioning from the civil service of Rivers State to the newly created Bayelsa State civil service in 1996, despite facing demoralizing challenges, including a downgrade in her position.
The event underscored Walson-Jack's significant impact on Nigeria's public administration.
