By Tunji OlaopaIn every administrative system across the world, the selection and appointment of critical officers and officials plays a very crucial role in the overall health of these systems. CORFEPS has over time become a veritable platform for interrogating germane issues revolving around the functionality and future of the civil service, as well as the operational mechanics and dynamics that could make for an efficient civil service.

I have especially explored for example the generalist-professional distinction as one important item in understanding the transformation of the civil service as a world class institution in Nigeria. Given that the civil service is in a debilitated state, such a HCSF needs a minimum of three years in office.
