That is if the proposed collaboration and mutual partnership the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) is seeking with the Niger State Government becomes a reality,\u201d Arabi said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In a letter to Governor Mohammed Bago, Arabi emphasised the Bureau\u2019s mandate, which includes operationalising the National Strategy for Public Service Reforms (NSPSR), evaluating its implementation, conducting institutional studies and perception surveys, and developing policy briefs to guide government decisions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He reminded the state that \u201cBPSR is an agency of government charged with the responsibility of initiating action on reforms at the public service level while also coordinating, monitoring, and evaluating the implementation of reforms in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Despite lean budget allocations, the Bureau has made significant strides. Notable among them are a study on \u2018waiting time\u2019 in government hospitals, induction programmes for newly appointed board members and chief executives of federal agencies, and the deployment of its Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) in agencies like NEITI, NASC, NCC, and the Universal Basic Education Commission.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u200e\u201cThe Bureau has also deployed the Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) as well as the restructuring of the Niger Delta Development Commission, just to mention a few,\u201d the report noted.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In Niger State, a 15-man committee has been inaugurated to spearhead civil service reform, aimed at improving quality service delivery. The initiative is part of a broader collaboration between BPSR and the state, with the hope that the relationship will bring lasting value to the state\u2019s public service.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u200e\u201cThis initiative will hopefully result in a mutual and worthwhile relationship for Niger State public service and the entire state,\u201d the document stated.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The collaboration also includes planned studies and assessments such as Niger State Civil Service Reforms; Socio-Economic Profile and Poverty Analysis for Niger State \u2013 A Strategic Tool for Inclusive Development Planning; Creating an Enabling Environment for the Informal Sector in Niger State \u2013 A Situation Analysis and Post-Disaster Needs Assessment in Niger State.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Adaji The Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) is stepping up efforts to restructure the Niger State Civil Service for more effective and efficient service delivery.
