.... Says "Excellence will not go unnoticed.” 

Nigeria's Head of the Civil Service of the Federation ( HCSF), Mrs  Didi Esther Walson-Jack has said punctuality and regular attendance are the
foundation of excellence in public service.



Didi Walson-Jack made this known on Saturday while delivering her speech at the 2025 Federal Civil Service Rewards and Recognition Awards Ceremony held at the State House Banquet Hall, Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.



Giving emphasis on the need for punctuality and regular attendance, the HCSF stressed that these are the
foundation of excellence in public service. "Resuming work by 8:00 a.m. is not just a rule; it is a culture we must reclaim and uphold.

“When we arrive on time, we demonstrate respect for the system, our colleagues, and the citizens we serve. Going forward, let us make punctuality and attendance the new face
of reform in our Civil Service.”

Commending awardees, the HCSF described the recipients as reformers. She disclosed that, “These awardees are not just workers. They are reformers, quiet reformers.They show up on time, meet deadlines, write policies, fix systems, and still manage to maintain a smile.

“Their commitment to duty is not measured only by output, but by their presence, consistently accounted for and dependable.” She stated.

Speaking further, Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack disclosed that, ”These honourees are not perfect, but they are purposeful. And tonight, we pause to acknowledge the busyness and say: we
see you. We thank you. We honour you.”

"You do not need to be in the spotlight to make an impact. The light shines brightest on those who serve with integrity in the shadows. And this award ceremony, now a fixture on our Civil Service calendar, is one of the ways we say: excellence will not go unnoticed.” She concluded.
