During Saturday night's 2025 civil service awards ceremony, the Federal Government and other stakeholders honored no fewer than 18 federal public servants for their outstanding service.  Additionally, two federal ministries were acknowledged.  

During her remarks, Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack, the Head of the Federation's Civil Service, referred to the honorees as "quiet reformers" who have continuously shown quality, integrity, and dedication in their service to the country.

“They show up on time, meet deadlines, write policies, fix systems, and still manage to maintain a smile.

“Tonight, we pause to acknowledge the busyness and say: we see you. We thank you. We honour you,” she said.

The awards ceremony, she said, is now a regular event on the civil service calendar and provides a concrete means of honoring public employees whose everyday efforts are frequently overlooked.  

The event came after a successful inaugural International Civil Service Conference (ICSC) that brought together more than 5,000 delegates from around the globe to discuss and examine new developments in public sector management. The ICSC took place on Wednesday and Thursday at Eagles Square in Abuja.
