Belgore Launches PMS Jackets, Tasks Staff On Teamwork, Innovation
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Shuaib Belgore has called on staff of the ministry to leverage technology, digitalisation, teamwork, and innovation to fast track service delivery.
A statement issued by the ministry’s Director Information and Public Relations, Badamasi Salisu Haiba, said Dr. Belgore spoke when he launched the Performance Management System (PMS) jackets for the ministry, in line with the ongoing Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan.
PMS is a modern, data-driven, and results-based performance measurement framework, a key pillar of the civil service strategy plan designed to replace the outdated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (APER).
Dr. Belgore explained that the jacket is a symbolic representation of the spirit of service delivery, professionalism, and performance excellence, as demanded under the ongoing Civil Service Reform Programme.
“The PMS jackets being launched today are therefore, a visual representation of this new mindset, a culture where performance is not accidental but intentional, where excellence is not optional but expected, and where accountability is worn with pride”, he said.
The Permanent Secretary highlighted the three key values which the PMS Jacket represents namely, identity, discipline, accountability and responsibility, and a daily reminder of the commitment of the Ministry to excellence and continuous improvement.
While commending the Director of the Human Resource Management Department for his leadership role in coordinating the PMS activities in the Ministry, Dr. Belgore acknowledged the efforts of the PMS Departmental Champions as well as the PMS technical Team, who worked assiduously to ensure the cascading of the Performance Contracts.
Similarly, Dr. Belgore thanked the management and staff of the Ministry, saying the success of the initiative depends on their buy in, cooperation, and commitment.
“The Ministry’s vision of providing adequate and affordable housing, as well as promoting sustainable urban development, can only be achieved through the collective performance of every officer”.
“Let the PMS jacket remind us each day that we are ambassadors of change. A change that brings efficiency, excellence, and accountability to public service delivery,” Belgore said.
In his remarks, the Director Human Resource Management, Dr. Akinola Adesina, stated that the PMS Jackets represent a collective commitment to accountability, productivity, and service delivery.
He appreciated the Permanent Secretary for his visionary leadership, steadfast commitment, and continuous drive to reform the administrative processes in the Ministry.
Dr. Adesina also applauded the Directors and Heads of Departments, as well as all staff who have worked tirelessly in various capacities to make the launch a success.
He urged staff of Ministry to embrace the innovation wholeheartedly. “Let us wear these PMS Jackets with pride and let them serve as a constant reminder of our duty to perform with diligence, integrity, and excellence in the service of our great nation.”
