“Today’s launch marks a critical step forward in our pursuit of excellence. The PMS will allow us to monitor progress, identify challenges and ensure we remain on track to meet our organisational, also national goals,” Dr Kofarmata explained.




"The PMS will re-invigorate Civil Servants, who are successfully driving the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR to the next level of development. 

Enumerating other benefits of the PMS, Dr. Kofarmata revealed that it includes,  improved productivity; employees’ engagement; better decision- making; data driven opportunities and many others.

The Permanent Secretary expressed the Ministry’s readiness towards implementing and institutionalising PMS as a measure of appraisal for staff, as enshrined in the Revised Public Service Rules (PSRs), 2024.

He pointed out that the Ministry had developed its Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs); signed Performance Contracts at the management level, as well as cascaded it down to other staff; has its Dashboard ready with a total staff strength of 962 on board, out of which 822 have signed the PMS contract with 457 supervisors.

Earlier in his Welcome Address, the Director, Human Resource Management (DHRM), Mr. Aliyu Abdullahi, explained that the PMS Day Launch was meant to, majorly, draw attention on what PMS is all about. He disclosed that the performance assessment of Civil Servants will now be done objectively as opposed to the use of the hitherto flawed and compromised Annual Performance Evaluation Report (APER) system.
