Abuja, Nigeria — October 30, 2025

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated the Federal Government’s unwavering commitment to building a world-class, digitally-driven, and citizen-centred workforce capable of driving inclusive and sustainable national development.
The President made this known in a message delivered at the opening ceremony of the 57th International Conference and Exhibition of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), held in Abuja. Represented by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, President Tinubu noted that the conference provides a vital platform for leaders of thought, policymakers, and human resource professionals to examine and discuss the evolving dynamics of work under the theme, “Reimagining the New World of Work.”

Commending the CIPM for its consistency and nearly six decades of professional excellence, ethical leadership, and dedication to human capital development, the President acknowledged the Institute’s invaluable role in promoting professionalism and strengthening workforce governance across both the public and private sectors.
Highlighting his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, President Tinubu emphasized that Nigeria’s greatest asset is not its oil or mineral resources, but its people. He reaffirmed that the Federal Government remains steadfast in implementing key initiatives such as the 3 Million Technical Talent Programme (3MTT) and the National Talent Export Programme (NATEP) — both designed to position Nigeria as a global hub for skilled digital professionals.

The President further underscored his administration’s commitment to ongoing public service transformation through the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2025 (FCSSIP25), which aims to achieve a fully digital and paperless civil service by December 31, 2025.
He explained that the adoption of the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution marks a major milestone in enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public service operations.

President Tinubu expressed confidence that with continued collaboration between government institutions and professional bodies such as the CIPM, Nigeria will successfully build a digitally-empowered workforce that drives innovation, productivity, and sustainable national development.
