Personnel Audit Vital for Nigeria's National Workforce Planning

Didi Esther, Head of the Civil Service Federation, emphasized the importance of conducting a personnel audit and skills gap analysis to establish a credible national workforce profile for effective planning in Nigeria. The initiative aims to create a trusted database for targeted training, efficient posting, transparent promotion, and succession management within the Federal Civil Service.

Esther highlighted the significance of having accurate data to drive civil service reform and enhance productivity and responsiveness to national development needs. The project, involving key stakeholders and experts, seeks to harmonize strategies for successful implementation of the Personnel Audit and Skills Gap Analysis across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in Nigeria.
