The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) Chairman, Prof Tunji Olaopa, has emphasised the importance of working with the National Youth Service Corps for the development of a new generation of public service managers. He emphasised the need for inter-generational conversation, mentoring, and education to create a new generation of leaders and public managers. Olaopa emphasised the importance of aligning national values and diversity elements with the merit system. The goal is to build a value-based civil service that is people-focused, professional, technology-enabled, entrepreneurial, and accountable for quality service. The FCSC and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development are seen as strategic partners, and an inter-agency public service orientation mentoring program will be developed to build upcoming youth as new generation public managers.
