FG scraps Annual Performance Evaluation Report for civil servants

The Federal Government has scrapped the Annual Performance Evaluation Report (APER), as a tool for assessing civil servants.

Instead, government has introduced Performance Management System (PMS) as a new evaluation tool.

The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HOCSF), Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, made this known on Monday in Abuja.

She spoke at the opening of a three-day workshop on Service-Wide Training.

According to her, the PMS will create a digitally-driven culture of performance management in the civil service.

Permanent secretaries, selected federal public servants from ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) and other stakeholders were participants at the training.

The training was organised in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM).

Yemi-Esan said her office had been working with its development partners, to implement flagship programmes and policy initiatives to evolve a competent workforce in the country.

She said that the training was aimed at acquainting participants with the requisite knowledge and skills in job objectives, setting, performance appraisal and reward system.

All these, according to her, are vital parts of the PMS that will eventually replace the APER currently being used.
