According to the Head of Civil Service, "This is not just a moment of personal achievement; it is also a moment of collective celebration for the Federal Civil Service, as we witness the emergence of leaders who will drive us toward a brighter future.

"Today is a moment of celebration, but it is also a moment of reflection and a call to greater responsibility. 

"As newly promoted Directors, you have reached a pinnacle that reflects not just your personal achievements but also the trust and expectations placed upon you by the Federal Civil Service and the nation at large. 

"This is a call to leadership, to stewardship, and to serve as beacons of integrity, professionalism, and innovation. 

"Your promotion is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a more challenging and fulfilling path where your influence and impact will shape the future of our Civil Service.

"In the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021-2025, also known as FCSSIP 25, we have a roadmap to reposition the Civil Service into a world class institution that drives sustainable national development. 

"This plan is more than a document; it is a vision of a modern, efficient, and effective Civil Service that meets the needs of the Nigerian people. As Directors, you are at the forefront of this transformative agenda. I urge you to embrace the reforms embedded in FCSSIP 25 with utmost commitment and enthusiasm. Mrs Didi WaIson-Jack advised.

Speaking further, she said, "These reforms are not just abstract policies; they are practical, actionable strategies designed to improve Service delivery, enhance productivity, and create a more agile and accountable Civil Service. 

"Your role is pivotal in cascading these reforms down the line, ensuring that every member of your team understands and aligns with this vision. 

"This is a task that requires clear communication, consistent engagement, and unwavering dedication.

"Leadership is not merely about occupying a position; it is about inspiring others, setting a standard, and being the example you wish to see in your team. You must foster an environment of collaboration, inclusivity, and continuous learning. 

"Your teams look to you not only for guidance but also for motivation and mentorship. 

"The future of the Federal Civil Service depends on our ability to cultivate a culture where innovation thrives, where accountability is non-negotiable, and where excellence is the norm. 

"Be the leaders who ignite passion and purpose in your teams, and let your actions demonstrate the transformative power of visionary leadership.

"As you take on this elevated role, remember that you do not walk this path alone. the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation stands firmly behind you. 

"We are committed to providing the resources, training, and support you need to succeed. Our doors are always open, and we are here to listen, to guide, and to partner with you in achieving our shared goals. 

"The success of the Federal Civil Service is our collective responsibility, and you can be assured of unwavering support as you navigate the challenges and opportunities of your new roles.

The Head of Service urged the Directors to rededicate themselves to the principles of good governance, transparency, and efficiency. 

"Let your leadership inspire confidence among your subordinates and stakeholders. Let your decisions and actions reflect the highest standards of Public Service. And above all, let your legacy be one of impact and progress. Understand that as Directors, you are not only shaping policies but also shaping lives.

"The decisions you make and the actions you take will resonate beyond the confines of your offices, influencing the well-being of citizens and the future of our nation. She stated
