    The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoS), Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji, has urged the private sector to be more involved in the implementation of the Transformation Agenda of the Federal Government.

    He said this when a delegation of the Executive Council of the Institute of Directors (IoD), led by its President and Chairman of Council, Chief Eniola Fadayomi, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.

    Aji explained that the aim of the Transformation Agenda, is to change the economy into one that is private sector driven, create wealth and employment opportunities for the youth.

    He said the civil service is willing to cooperate with well-meaning organisations, such as the IoD, particularly in capacity development and integrity building.

    He told the delegation that his office has initiated a public-private sector staff exchange programme aimed at experience sharing and the building of mutual understanding between the two sectors.

    Mrs Fadayomi said the mission of the organisation was the entrenchment of good corporate governance in work places through training.

    She also said the international affiliations of the institute, particularly in Africa, which has opened up new vistas for members.

    She called for the enrolment of senior officers in the Federal Civil Service, as members of the institute, to improve the relationship between the public and private sectors.
