The NSPSR is focused on implementing the President’s Transformation Agenda and ensuring consistency in service delivery across the Public Service. As part of the process of validating the NSPSR, the NSPSR has been presented to the body of Federal Permanent Secretaries, SCR and other top government functionaries.
Development of a new Human Resource Management (HRM) Curriculum and matrix of continuous education programme for HRM practitioners in the Federal Public Service was also key to building the capacity of HRM practitioners in the Civil Service under reform. Towards this goal the Bureau in January 2014 constituted a team of Management Development Institutions (MDIs) experts in to develop a new HRM Curriculum and Matrix of continuous education programme for HRM practitioners in the Federal Civil Service which is to serve as the requisite tools for developing officers in the HR cadre in the Federal Civil Service. The new HRM Curriculum for HRM practitioners in the Federal Public Service has received very favourable reviews by independent organizations and development partners including the World Bank and DFID-FEPAR.
In June, 2014 the Bureau instituted a “BPSR Reform Seminar Series” as part of its broader function of conducting research on reform implementation efforts and presenting “best practice” models. The primary objectives of the Seminar were to provide a forum for the active exchange of innovation ideas, knowledge in public administration and governance in Nigeria and internationally, address salient issues and share experiences about what has worked and what has not worked well, both within the Nigerian Public Service, and in other countries; as well as assist the Bureau to build a framework and network of collaboration for the improvement of innovation in Nigerian public administration and governance.
Apart from providing reform guides on developing medium term sector strategies and job evaluation BPSR inspired the repositioning of NEPAD Nigeria. For long the operations of NEPAD Nigeria has nose-dived casting an ugly spell that betrayed the purpose of establishing it in 2003.
In February, 2014 a new Special Adviser to the President on NEPAD was appointed, who immediately partnered with the Bureau to reposition the NEPAD Office, Nigeria to actualize its mandate.
Other achievements of the Bureau include; assisting the Ministry of Mines and Steels Development to develop the Governance and Operational Guidelines for the Solid Minerals development Fund (SMDF), and compilation of all the key reform measures that the immediate Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji, OON undertook within the fifteen (15) months of his stewardship.
