Top management members of staff in the federal civil service have been urged to adopt the new Performance Management System (PMS), a key component of ongoing reforms under the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021–2025.
This emerged at a leadership retreat for Directors in the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in Enugu, where the Permanent Secretary (PS), Daju Kachollom, emphasised the need for senior officers to align personal performance with broader ministerial and national development goals.
She described the new PMS as a tool to enhance service delivery, track measurable progress, and support succession planning within the Ministry.
Defining leadership as a driving force behind organisations, Kachollom implored the Directors to prioritize transparency, embrace innovation, foster partnerships and build empowered, sustainable teams to ensure an efficient and effective system that meets its goals.

“In this regard, we must fully embrace the ongoing reforms and take ownership of them.”
“We must adopt the principles of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021–2025, with particular focus on the new Performance Management System (PMS), which is designed to track both individual performance and our collective contributions to ministerial and national development goals.
“At its core, performance management aligns individual goals with organisational objectives, ensuring a unified direction.
“This is critical not only for achieving the Ministry’s mandate but also for sustaining our current achievements,” she said.
