Executive Summary

1. The Acting Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HCSF), Mrs. Winifred Ekanem

Oyo-Ita, FCA, inaugurated the Committee on the Review of the Structure of

Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) on 17thNovember, 2015. This

followed the appointment of Ministers and the merger of Ministries, resulting in the

reduction of Federal Ministries from thirty one (31) to twenty four (24).

2. The Committee’s Membership comprises select former Heads of the Civil Service of

the Federation, retired and serving Federal Permanent Secretaries, the Director-

General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) and the Director, Office of

the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Millennium Development Goals

(OSSAP-MDGs) as Secretary.

3. The Committee’s Terms of Reference (ToR) are to:

i. carry out a review of each Ministry’s Functions and Responsibilities and

determine the appropriate Functions to avoid overlap, duplication of

Functions and redundancy;

ii. assess the current Organizational Structure of each Ministry and recommend

an improved structure for efficient and effective service delivery;

iii. examine the Nominal Rolls of the MDAs and make appropriate

recommendations for effective deployment of staff;

iv. identify and align all the Mandates of the 24 existing Ministries in line with

Government priorities and the Change Agenda;

v. examine and recommend the distribution of the existing Assets and

Liabilities of the MDAs;

vi. review the Operational Systems, Designs and Processes so as to retool and

reposition the MDAs for efficient and effective service delivery; and

vii. advise Government on any other matter(s) that would further facilitate

achieving the key objectives for the restructuring of the MDAs.

4. The Committee was to submit its Report within two weeks of its inauguration

on November 17, 2015. However, in the course of discharging its assignment, the

Committee realized that the scope of work was too enormous to be concluded

within the two-week timeframe. Accordingly, on November 27th, 2015, in a letter to

the Chairman of the Committee, the Acting Head of the Civil Service of the

Federation, granted two weeks extension for the submission of the Final Report

with effect from the date of submission of the Committee’s Interim Report.

5. Meanwhile, the Acting Head of the Civil Service of the Federation narrowed

the Committee’s Terms of Reference (ToR) to cover only the merged

Page 12: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

viii

Ministries. Specifically, she advised the Committee “to focus its attention on the

merged Ministries that produced the seven (7) new successor Ministries. The

major activities to be carried out include the following:

i. Designing an optimal organizational structure for the successor Ministries,

taking cognizance of Staff strength, Departments, etc.

ii. Developing the Mandate, Functions and Responsibilities of the Ministry in

line with Government priorities and the Change Agenda, noting that

Government does not want to lay off workers;

iii. Distribution of the Assets and Liabilities within the successor Ministries; and

iv. Preparation of an Interim Report for work done/achieved in the first two

weeks”.

6. To arrive at informed Findings, Observations, and Recommendations, the

Committee’s Methodology was inspired by the policy direction of the present

Administration, notably tackling unemployment, leakages and waste in public

expenditure, and insecurity. Also, the Methodology was driven by the principles of

inclusive consultation and teamwork.

7. The Committee submitted an Interim Report to the Acting Head of the Civil Service

of the Federation on Friday, 4th December 2015, which addressed the preliminary

issues to facilitate the smooth take-off of the merged Ministries.

ii. The former departments of Administration in the former Budget Office of the

Federation and the National Planning Commission should be merged and

named Human Resources Management Department. Similarly, the Finance

and Accounts Departments should be merged.

iii. The tariff issues being previously handled by the Budget Office should be

transferred to the Technical Services Department of the Federal Ministry of

Finance since the functions relate to adjustments in the schedules of the

Customs and Excise Management Act 1958.

Page 32: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

xxviii

iv. The Ministry of Budget and National Planning should be responsible for the

preparation of Budget Estimates including allocation of funds to the votes of

the Ministries, Departments and Agencies and submit to the Federal Executive

Council for consideration and transmission to the National Assembly for

approval.

v. The disbursement or release of funds after appropriation by the National

Assembly should remain the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Finance

as specified by the Finance Management and Control Act, 1958. The issuance

of expenditure warrants and Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) should

continue to be the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance as they are part of

the statutory responsibilities of the Minister of Finance.

vi. A Cash Management Department should be created in the Federal Ministry of

Finance to handle the release of funds. The Federal Ministry of Finance

should ensure that copies of releases are made available to the Ministry of

Budget and National Planning.

vii. Where aspects of the Service-Wide Vote have been specifically earmarked for

augmentation for the provision of projects and programmes, the Ministries,

Departments and Agencies (MDAs) concerned should apply to the Minister of

Finance for appropriate release. For the unallocated portion of the Vote, a

request for accessing funds therefrom should go to the Minister of Budget and

National Planning for appropriate allocation. The ensuing approval should

then be sent to the Minister of Finance for the release of the amount

approved.

viii. Regarding the reporting line of the Director-General (Budget), it is necessary

to appreciate the centrality of the Budget function to the entire Government

machinery. To obviate delays and facilitate speed in the handling of the

considerable workload it entails, the Director-General (Budget) should report

directly to the Honourable Minister of Budget and National Planning for

operational matters and through the Permanent Secretary to the Ministers on

administrative matters.

ix. The technical staff of the Ministry should be ring-fenced to enable the National

Planning arm retain its technical nature.

x. Now that the Commission has been merged with the Budget Office as a

Ministry, the appointment of the staff recruited by the erstwhile National

Planning Commission should be regularized.

Page 33: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

xxix

xi. The Budget Office of the Ministry should continue to operate from its present

location given the inadequacy of office accommodation.

xii. The Honourable Minister of State for Budget and National Planning should be

assigned specific responsibilities, although the overall responsibility for all

the functions of the Ministry lies with the Honourable Minister of Budget and

National Planning. In this regard, it is suggested that the Honourable Minister

of State for Budget and National Planning should have responsibility for the

three (3) Parastatals of the Ministry, as well as the Departments of Social

Development; Economic Growth; and Monitoring and Evaluation.

xiii. Government may wish to revisit the status of the Act for the establishment of

the National Planning Commission now that the Commission has been merged

with the Budget Office of the Federation to form the Ministry of Budget and

National Planning.

10. On Cross-Cutting issues, the Committee made the following recommendations:

i. Each Ministry should use the indicative guidelines in Chapter Nine of the Main

Report to develop and validate its Vision and Mission Statements in an

inclusive and participatory manner.

ii. Each merged Ministry should constitute a Ministerial Committee on

Independent Verification of Assets and Liabilities, using the indicative

guidelines in Chapter Nine of the Main Report.

iii. Merged Ministries should use the indicative guidelines and outlets proposed in

Chapter Nine of the Main Report for Intra and Inter-Ministerial staff

deployment.

iv. With the creation of the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, the

budget function which is operated as a Division in the Finance and

Accounts Division in most Ministries, should be merged with that of

Planning, Research and Statistics Department and the Department

renamed Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics.

v. In the Technical Ministries, the Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Department should be professionalized. In this regard, the structure and

staffing of the Department should reflect the technical nature of the respective

Ministries. To this end, the Department in the following merged Ministries

should be professionalized and renamed as follows:

Page 34: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

Federal Ministry of Transportation

Transportation Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Federal Ministry of Environment

Environmental Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports

Youth and Sports Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing

Power Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Highways Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Housing Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Also, this recommendation should be made applicable to other unmerged

Technical Ministries.

vi. The Human Resources Management function should be professionalized and

manned by practitioners with relevant skills-set for the effective performance

of the following key HRM activities in the Service:

Human Resources Planning and Strategy Execution;

Organizational Resourcing and Talent Management;

Performance Management;

Employee Relations and Staff Welfare;

Compensation Design, Administration and Management;

Learning and Development;

Transformation and Change Management; and

Human Resource Records Management.

vii. A Committee should be constituted by the Head of the Civil Service of the

Federation to re-examine the office accommodation for all the Ministries in

order to address the challenges arising from scattered accommodation.

viii. The Director of Special Duties in each Ministry should be re-designated

Director, Office of Permanent Secretary (OPS), since an independent

Department cannot exist within the Office of the Permanent Secretary.

ix. Ministries, Departments and Agencies should undertake the activities

proposed in Chapter Ten of the Main Report, under the guidance of the

Steering Committee on Reforms (SCR), chaired by the Secretary to the

Government of the Federation, in order to ensure a comprehensive

restructuring and repositioning of all Government entities.

CHAPTER ONE

PREAMBLE

1.0 Introduction and Background

The Committee on the Review of the Structure of Ministries, Departments and

Agencies (MDAs) was inaugurated by the Acting Head of the Civil Service of the

Federation, Mrs. Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita, on 17th November, 2015. This followed

the appointment of Ministers and the merger of Ministries, resulting in the

reduction of Federal Ministries from thirty one (31) to twenty four (24).

1.1 Merged Ministries

The merged Ministries are as follows:

i. Power, Works and Housing, merged from the defunct Federal Ministries of

Power; Works; and Lands, Housing and Urban Development;

ii. Transportation, merged from the defunct Federal Ministries of Transport

and Aviation;

iii. Interior, merger of Ministry of Interior and the defunct Ministry of Police

Affairs;

iv. Information and Culture, merger of Ministry of Information and the

defunct Ministry of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation;

v. Youth and Sports, merged from the defunct Ministry of Youth Development

and National Sports Commission;

vi. Environment- The Department of Lands was excised from the defunct

Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban development and merged with the

Federal Ministry of Environment; and

vii. Budget and National Planning, merged from the defunct Budget Office

(Ministry of Finance) and the defunct National Planning Commission.

The merger of the Ministries brought to the fore the need for a two-level

constructive alignment of the Ministries. The first level is that of intra-ministerial

structural alignment towards promoting synergy amongst the constituent parts of

the new Ministry. The second level is to promote a common understanding of, and

alignment of the mandates, functions and responsibilities as well as processes of the

CHAPTER TWO

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF POWER, WORKS AND HOUSING

2.0 Introduction

The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing is charged with the responsibility of

providing adequate and world-class critical infrastructure in the power, works and

housing sectors for sustainable livelihoods and accelerated national development.

Government’s renewed commitment to put in place appropriate short, medium and

long term measures to reinvigorate these three key sectors of the national economy

through adequate and reliable public power supply, increased access to all year-

round high quality roads, and safe, adequate and affordable housing, as well as

functional, inclusive and productive towns and cities will contribute significantly to

the diversification of the national economy. This will not only broaden the

productive capacity of the economy, but also enhance its global competitiveness. It

will further guarantee the well-being and productivity of the Nigerian people,

through poverty reduction, wealth and job creation. Mainstreaming small-scale

entrepreneurs, youths, artisans and other vulnerable groups in the country into the

development process will enhance their well-being, dignity and ensure their safety

and security for increased voice and participation in the task of nation building.

The work of the Ministry is aligned with all the Policy Thrusts of Government in its

2016-2020 Medium Term Sector Strategy Plan (MTSSP). Particularly, the Ministry

will contribute to sustained economic growth, improved access to Low-income

Housing, Social Housing, and improved state of infrastructure for the Power,

Housing and Roads Sectors, in partnership with States Government, Local

Governments and the Private Sector.

2.1 Pre-Merger Status

A. Ministry of Power

Introduction

2.1.1 Power is a critical and strategic requirement for the development of any nation. It is

indeed a catalyst and a driving force for development. The current challenges in the

power sector of the Nigerian economy can be traced to past years of under-

investment. To address these challenges, Government instituted the Electric Power

Sector Reform Act, 2005, to further liberalise the sector. Consequently, a Power

Sector Roadmap was designed and rolled-out to guide the unbundling of the sector,

Page 42: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

8

institutionalise regulatory framework and attract private participation in the sector.

Since then, some achievements have been made and indications are that more will

be achieved in the years ahead if the Roadmap is properly implemented.

a. Vision

A robust and sustainable power sector that fully supports the socio–economic

needs of the Nation and contributes to the emergence of Nigeria as one of the top

twenty economies of the world by the Year 2020.

b. Mission

To provide the Nation with adequate and reliable power supply by implementing

generation, transmission and distribution projects in the sector and facilitating the

emergence of a private sector-led competitive and efficient electric power industry.

c. Mandate

The Ministry was mandated to develop and facilitate the implementation of policies

for the provision of adequate and reliable power supply to drive the socio-economic

development of the Nation. In discharging this mandate, the Ministry was guided by

the provisions of the National Electric Power Policy (NEPP) of 2001, the Electric

Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act of 2005, and the Roadmap for Power Sector Reform

of August 2010.

d. Functions

i. Office Accommodation

The Ministry of Interior is located at the Old Secretariat, Area 1, Garki, while the former

Ministry of Police Affairs is at the Federal Secretariat Complex, Maitama District.

4.2 Committee’s Observations and Recommendations

A. Observations

i. The fourteen (14) Departmental Structure put forward by the merged

Ministry was noted. However, the Committee noted that the

Department of Counter-Terrorism is already domiciled in the Office of

the National Security Adviser.

ii. On the establishment of a Cyber Crime Agency, the Committee observed

that Part V, entitled Administration and Enforcement, Section 41 (1) of

Page 100: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

66

the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act, 2015, empowers the

Office of the National Security Adviser as the coordinating body for all

security and enforcement agencies under the Act. Accordingly, the

Cybercrime Agency is currently domiciled in the Office of the National

Security Adviser.

iii. The Committee noted the case made by the Ministry for the establishment of

a Department of Civil Society Affairs to encourage the participation of

citizens and civil society organizations in public safety and security through

public awareness and volunteerism. The Committee noted that the

proposed Department is different from the Civil Society Affairs

Department in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the

Federation which is mainly responsible for political engagement and

mobilization of non-state actors.

iv. The Honourable Minister made a case for the relocation of the National

Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and the Federal Roads Safety

Commission (FRSC) to the Ministry of Interior. However, the Committee

observed that the two Commissions are domiciled in the Office of the

Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

v. The Committee noted the request for the establishment of a Multi-Agency

Situation Centre in the Ministry was purely administrative and not a

structural issue.

vi. The details of the liabilities of the merged Ministries were not received from

the Ministry.

B. Recommendations

a. Vision

To attain the highest level of professionalism in internal security services in

accordance with international best practices.

b. Mission

To render to Nigerians and foreigners alike diverse internal security and other

ancillary services that are highly qualitative, effective, courteous and transparent.

Page 101: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

67

N.B: The Ministry should revalidate the above stated Vision and Mission

Statements in an inclusive and participatory manner in consonance with the

guidelines in Chapter Nine of this Report.

c. Mandate

To foster the maintenance of internal security and citizenship integrity for the

promotion of good governance.

d. Functions

i. Formulating and implementing policies and programmes relating to internal

security;

ii. Coordinating the activities of the Nigeria Police Force and Paramilitary

Agencies under the supervision of the Ministry;

iii. Handling Business Registration and Expatriate quota to companies operating

in Nigeria;

iv. Processing applications for the grant of Nigerian citizenship in accordance with

the provision of the Nigerian Constitution;

v. Handling the administration of marriages;

vi. Handling matters relating to the Nigeria Police Council and Civil Defence,

Immigration, Prisons, Fire Service Board (CDIPFB);

vii. Ensuring the implementation of related treaties and international agreements;

viii. Reducing and preventing crimes as well as internal communal conflicts;

Organizations in Public Safety and Security.

ii. The Department of Civil Society Affairs in the Office of the Secretary

to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) which is mainly

responsible for political engagement and mobilization of non-state

actors still remains.

iii. The present status quo should be maintained in respect of the

domiciliation of the Departments of Counter Terrorism and the

Cyber Crime Agency in the Office of the National Security Adviser

(NSA).

Page 103: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

69

iv. The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and Federal

Road Safety Commission should remain in the Office of the Secretary

to the Government of the Federation.

v. For effective coordination and administration of the activities of the new

Ministry (Ministry of Interior), the Honourable Minister should continue

to operate from the Old Secretariat, Area 1, Garki. However, some

Departments should continue to operate from the Federal Secretariat

Complex, Maitama District, since the current office space at the Old

Federal Secretariat will be inadequate in accommodating all the

Departments under the Structure of the new Ministry.

6.3 Committee’s Observations and Recommendations

A. Observations

i. The new Ministry of Environment is an amalgamation of the former Ministry of

Environment and the Department of Lands from the defunct Ministry of Lands,

Housing and Urban Development.

ii. Vision and Mission statements of the new Ministry were not submitted.

iii. The defunct Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and the

Ministry of Environment are in the same location at Mabushi. The merger will

therefore not involve substantial movement of Staff and physical assets.

iv. Only the Lands component has been excised from the defunct Ministry of Lands,

Housing and Urban Development. Urban and Regional Development/Surveys are

however, retained in the Housing sector of the new Ministry of Power, Works

and Housing.

v. Land is the foundation for affordable housing delivery and sustainable

urbanization, hence the Lands Department is functionally more complementary

Page 125: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

91

to housing and urban development than environment. Furthermore, whereas the

Ministry of Environment is a regulatory institution, by the Mandate of the Lands

Department, it is a developmental institution, and the domiciliation of Lands

under the Ministry of Environment will conflict with the regulatory role of the

Ministry of Environment.

vi. Non- submission of assets by the Ministry, and assets and liabilities by Lands

Department.

B. Recommendations

a. Vision and Mission

The Ministry should formulate its Vision and Mission statements in an

inclusive and participatory manner in consonance with the guidelines in

Chapter Nine of this Report.

8.3 Committee’s Observations and Recommendations

A. Observations

i. Tariff issues and funds disbursement are the statutory functions of the

Minister of Finance, moreso as the Customs and Excise Service and the Office

of the Accountant General of the Federation are located in the Federal

Ministry of Finance.

ii. The suggestion of the Minister of Budget and National Planning for the

technical work of the Ministry to be coordinated by two Directors-General is

noted.

iii. The position of the Head of the Budget Office was occupied by a Permanent

Secretary before it was changed to Director-General/Special Adviser to the

President in 1999 and subsequently to Director-General in 2011. Due to the

urgent nature of budget matters, and to facilitate speedy consideration, the

Head of the Budget Office had always reported directly to the Honourable

Minister on operational matters and through the Permanent Secretary on

administrative issues.

iv. No specific duties have been assigned to the Honourable Minister of State for

Budget and National Planning.

v. The need to retain the technical nature of the National Planning arm of the

Ministry is noted.

vi. It was also noted that the erstwhile National Planning Commission had

recruited some staff to further reinforce the delivery of its mandate.

vii. The annual budget usually contains a service-wide vote which is a bulk sum

of money for augmenting other votes that may be inadequate during the year

or for meeting unforeseen expenditures.

viii. The National Planning Commission was established by Act 71 of 1993 which

has not been repealed.

C. Other Recommendations

i. In order to retain the technical nature of the National Planning Commission

aspect of the Ministry, the most senior Director be designated as

Coordinating Director to oversee the technical Departments.

ii. The former departments of Administration in the former Budget Office of the

Federation and the National Planning Commission should be merged and

named Human Resources Management Department. Similarly, the Finance

and Accounts Departments should be merged.

iii. The tariff issues being previously handled by the Budget Office should be

transferred to the Technical Services Department of the Federal Ministry of

Finance since the functions relate to adjustments in the schedules of the

Customs and Excise Management Act 1958.

iv. The Ministry of Budget and National Planning should be responsible for the

preparation of Budget Estimates including allocation of funds to the votes of

the Ministries, Departments and Agencies and submit to the Federal

Executive Council for consideration and transmission to the National

Assembly for approval.

v. The disbursement or release of funds after appropriation by the National

Assembly should remain the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Finance

as specified by the Finance Management and Control Act, 1958. The issuance

of expenditure warrants and Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) should

continue to be the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance as they are part of

the statutory responsibilities of the Minister of Finance.

vi. A Cash Management Department should be created in the Federal Ministry of

Finance to handle the release of funds. The Federal Ministry of Finance

should ensure that copies of releases are made available to the Ministry of

Budget and National Planning.

Page 164: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

130

vii. Where aspects of the Service-Wide Vote have been specifically earmarked for

augmentation for the provision of projects and programmes, the Ministries,

Departments and Agencies (MDAs) concerned should apply to the Minister of

Finance for appropriate release. For the unallocated portion of the Vote, a

request for accessing funds therefrom should go to the Minister of Budget

and National Planning for appropriate allocation. The ensuing approval

should then be sent to the Minister of Finance for the release of the amount

approved.

viii. Regarding the reporting line of the Director-General (Budget), it is necessary

to appreciate the centrality of the Budget function to the entire Government

machinery. To obviate delays and facilitate speed in the handling of the

considerable work load it entails, the Director-General (Budget) should

report directly to the Honourable Minister of Budget and National Planning

for operational matters and through the Permanent Secretary to the

Ministers on administrative matters.

ix. The technical staff of the Ministry should be ring-fenced to enable the

National Planning arm retain its technical nature.

x. Now that the Commission has been merged with the Budget Office as a

Ministry, the appointment of the staff recruited by the erstwhile National

Planning Commission should be regularized.

xi. The Budget Office of the Ministry should continue to operate from its present

location given the inadequacy of office accommodation.

xii. The Honourable Minister of State for Budget and National Planning should be

assigned specific responsibilities, although the overall responsibility for all

the functions of the Ministry lies with the Honourable Minister of Budget and

National Planning. In this regard, it is suggested that the Honourable Minister

of State for Budget and National Planning should have responsibility for the

three (3) Parastatals of the Ministry, as well as the Departments of Social

Development; Economic Growth; and Monitoring and Evaluation.

xiii. Government may wish to revisit the status of the Act for the establishment of

the National Planning Commission now that the Commission has been

merged with the Budget Office of the Federation to form the Ministry of

Budget and National Planning.

CHAPTER NINE

RECOMMENDATIONS ON CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES

9.0 Introduction

This Chapter focuses attention on issues that cut across all the merged Ministries,

details of which are set out here below.

9.1. Development of Ministerial Vision and Mission Statements

Every Ministry should develop its own Vision and Mission Statements, in an

inclusive and participatory manner using the following indicative guidelines:

i. A Vision Statement should answer the question: “Where do we want to go?” It

is a picture of the organization in the future.

ii. A Mission Statement sets out the PURPOSE and AIM of the organization.

iii. A Strategic Objective sets out:

what profound change should happen?

what benefits should be delivered?

For whom the benefits are to be provided

How the benefits will be produced and delivered

The quantum of resources required (within realistically-available

resources)

So, we must ask… are the Vision, Mission and Strategic Objectives clear

and appropriate?

9.2. Verification of Assets and Liabilities

Every merged Ministry should constitute a Ministerial Committee on

Independent Verification of Assets and Liabilities, using the under-listed

indicative guidelines.

a. Categories of Assets

v. All the pre-merger independent Ministries should move to the newly merged

Ministries with their assets and liabilities.

Human Capital

i. Staff Redeployment

Owing to the merger of the Ministries, staff redeployment will take place at the

Intra-Ministerial and Inter-Ministerial levels. The Intra-Ministerial level will

affect the deployment of staff amongst the Departments (Technical and

Common Services) and Units that make up a merged Ministry, whilst the Inter-

Ministerial will comprise staff deployment between one Ministry and another.

Accordingly, the following principles and deployment outlets are hereby

recommended:

ii. Implementation Principles

Deployment

Transfer of Service

Secondment

iii. Implementing Authorities

Affected Ministries

Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation

Federal Civil Service Commission

Governing Boards of Parastatals through their respective supervisory

Ministries

c. Redeployment Outlets

i. Common Services Departments

Deployment to other Ministries having vacancies;

Deployment to other unmerged Ministries where expertise is needed

and vacancies exist;

Deployment to Parastatals under the merged Ministries; and

Deployment to the Parastatals in the unmerged Ministries.

Page 169: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

135

ii. Technical Departments

Deployment to a Department of relevance within the merged

Ministries;

Deployment to a Department of relevance with the unmerged

Ministries; and

Deployment to Parastatals of relevance of other Ministries.

9.3 Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages

i. The options of staff redeployment /transfer, without retrenchment

would not fuel labour/social upheavals;

ii. The financial implication to Government would be insignificant;

iii. It would be in line with the present Administration’s commitment to

providing and protecting employment;

iv. The retirement process/ pension arrangements of those on transfer of

service would not be jeopardized because MDAs and Parastatals are

all Federal Government establishments on the same Contributory

Pension Scheme; and

v. Job security arising from the foregoing options will enhance trust,

loyalty, commitment and productivity in the MDAs for the

actualization of the Change Agenda of this Administration.

Disadvantages

i. The process of implementation may take some time.

ii. The process may adversely affect employment and promotion

chances.

9.4 Establishment of a new Department of Planning, Budget, Research and

Statistics (PBRS)

9.4.1 With the creation of the Ministry of Budget and National Planning, the

Committee examined the Budget function vis-à-vis that of Planning,

Research and Statistics in the Ministries and observed that for effective

planning, synergy of operations and efficient service delivery, the budget

Page 170: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

136

function which are operated as a Division in the Finance and Accounts

Division in most Ministries, should be merged with that of Planning,

Research and Statistics Department and the Department be renamed

Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics.

9.4.2 In the Technical Ministries, the Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Department should be professionalized. The structure and staffing of the

Department should reflect the technical nature of the respective Ministry. In

this regard, the Department in the following merged Ministries should be

professionalized:

i. Federal Ministry of Transportation

Transportation Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

ii. Federal Ministry of Environment

Environmental Planning Budget, Research and Statistics

iii. Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports

Youth and Sports Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

iv. Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing

Power Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Highways Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

Housing Planning, Budget, Research and Statistics

The staff of the professionalized Department should be multidisciplinary.

Also this recommendation is applicable to other unmerged Technical

Ministries.

9.5 Professionalization of the Human Resources Management Function

9.5.1 The Committee also observed that the Human Resources Management function

in the Civil Service is being undertaken as a routine Administrative function.

The HRM Departments are, therefore, structured and manned by generalists

drawn from the administrative cadre. The importance of professionalizing the

Human Resource Function in the public service cannot be over-emphasized,

bearing in mind the four-fold role of the HR specialist as a strategic

business partner, an administrative expert, employee champion and a

change agent in the enterprise value chain. For effective and efficient

Page 171: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

137

performance, as well as the achievement of organizational goals, the HRM

function should be professionalized and manned by practitioners with relevant

skills-set to perform the following key HRM activities in the Service:

i. Human Resources Planning and Strategy Execution;

ii. Organizational Resourcing and Talent Management;

iii. Performance Management;

iv. Employee Relations and Staff Welfare;

v. Compensation Design, Administration and Management;

vi. Learning and Development;

vii. Transformation and Change Management; and

viii. HR Records Management.

9.6 Office Accommodation

Office Accommodation is an essential facility that provides the necessary conducive

environment for effective work performance and achievement of organisational

goals. It is observed that all the merged Ministries were in different locations.

For effective coordination and control of staff, it is desirable that all staff should, as

much as practicable, be accommodated in the same place.

It is, therefore, recommended that a Committee should be constituted by the Head of

the Civil Service of the Federation to re-examine the office accommodation for all

the Ministries in order to address the challenges arising from scattered

accommodation.

9.7 Special Duties Department in Ministries

The Special Duties Department in each Ministry is headed by a Director in the Office

of the Permanent Secretary. Since an independent Department cannot exist within

the Office of the Permanent Secretary, it is recommended that the Director of Special

Duties in each Ministry should be re-designated Director, Office of Permanent

Secretary (OPS).

CHAPTER TEN

SUGGESTED NEXT STEPS

10.0 Introduction

Given the additional work to be done on the seven (7) merged Ministries and other

Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) not affected by the merger, the

following are the suggested next steps.

10.1 Scope of Work for Restructuring and Repositioning of Ministries,

Departments and Agencies (MDAs)

i. The scope of work required to fully restructure and realign Ministries,

Departments and Agencies, is guided by the following activities to be

undertaken, with timelines for their completion, as indicated in the figure

below:

139

ii. For the 7 Ministries affected by the merger, considerable effort was made to

clarify their Visions, Missions and Mandates. However, there is the further

need to ensure that the Visions, Missions and Mandates not only meet the

strategic direction of Government, but also that the merged Ministries are

able to set medium-term targets and realign their functions to strategic

objectives.

iii. Similarly, it is still necessary to further examine Departmental functions in

MDAs and conduct detailed functional reviews to ensure that all duplications

are eliminated, and that the functions contribute to the strategic objectives of

Government.

iv. For the MDAs that were not affected by the merger, the restructuring

presents a unique opportunity to ensure that:

- their mandates and functions are closely aligned with Government’s

strategic direction;

- that the MDAs are fit-for-purpose; and

- that every civil servant has a job description that clearly shows how

his/her work relates to the Vision, Mission and Mandate of his/her

MDA.

v. Over the next 6-month period, Organisational Development Experts

(ODE) from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Office

of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Bureau of Public

Service Reforms and Relevant Resource Persons should be constituted into a

Technical Restructuring/Repositioning Team to undertake the full and

comprehensive restructuring and repositioning of all Ministries,

Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

vi. The Detailed Activities to be undertaken by the Technical Restructuring

/Repositioning Team are as follows:

a) Identify key gaps/overlaps in the Mandates, Functions and

Responsibilities of all MDAs;

b) Refine, map and align the Mandates, Functions and Responsibilities of

MDAs with Government Priorities and the Change Agenda;

c) Validate and agree on the refined Mandates, Functions and

Responsibilities with the leadership (Minister, Permanent Secretary

and Senior Management Team) of each MDA;

Page 174: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

140

d) Propose fit-for-purpose organizational structures and processes that

are in line with Government focus on reducing the cost of governance,

ensuring value addition and bolstering the effectiveness and ability of

Ministries/ Extra-Ministerial Departments to deliver on their

Mandates, Functions and Responsibilities;

e) Define appropriate manning levels to support the effective delivery of

services by each MDA;

f) Undertake a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) of the staff and

management of each MDA with a view to determining skill gaps and

training requirements;

g) Proffer solutions on how to address excess staff (if any), after

implementing the organizational structure in each MDA; and

h) Develop detailed Implementation Roadmap and Plans for

transitioning each MDA and effecting additional changes that may

need to be implemented.

vii. The Restructuring/Repositioning exercise will deliver the following benefits

to Government:

a) Publication of a reference document on the organizational structure

on Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) to ensure that all

stakeholders understand and appreciate the Functions and Service

Delivery Responsibilities of Federal Government entities. The

clarity of purpose enabled by this understanding and appreciation will

help sharpen the focus of Government establishments on desired

outcomes for citizens and their stakeholders.

b) Availability of a reference document/compendium for undertaking

future structural changes that may be required to enhance the

performance of the Federal Public Service.

c) Entrenchment of a culture of performance in the Federal Public

Service, as clearly defined Mandates, Functions and Responsibilities

are the key precursors, for the development of strategic plans which

can assist Government to prioritize and better utilize its available

resources in supporting delivery of good governance.

viii. The Steering Committee on Reforms, chaired by the Secretary to the

Government of the Federation (SGF) should schedule one day per month,

Page 175: Final Report of the Committee on the Review of the Structures of MDAs

141

over the next 6 months, to supervise and guide the Restructuring and

Repositioning of all MDAs; track the progress of work done, its impact on

service delivery and resolve issues that might arise.
