Federal Government Unveils Plan for E-Learning Platform in Civil Service
The Federal Government has unveiled plans to launch an e-learning platform aimed at accelerating the training of civil servants for enhanced service delivery during a public lecture in Abuja on Thursday, as part of the 2024 Civil Service Week celebrations.
Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF), highlighted that this innovative platform would enable a larger number of civil servants to undergo induction and the Structured Mandatory Assessment-Based Program (SMAT-P) module simultaneously. In addition, it will offer specialized training opportunities concurrently.
“The objective of the e-learning platform is to train many more civil servants simultaneously,” she explained. “We have modules that will ensure civil servants are well trained.”
“This involves equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an increasingly complex work environment,” She said.
Moreover, Yemi-Esan emphasized the government’s commitment to aligning Nigeria’s civil service with global standards through continuous training and development of officers while also highlighting the collaborative efforts between the Nigerian Civil Service, its partners, and stakeholders, notably the AIG-Imoukhuede Foundation, in substantial investments toward workforce training.
Furthermore, the Federal Government plans to identify mentors among civil servants and strategically deploy 500 personnel across diverse sectors by the end of 2025, grooming them as future leaders in public service
