When people say that the Nigerian public service is bloated or that public servants were recruited through nepotism, it is worth remembering that, even if true (it is not true with regards to numbers) the staff did not recruit themselves.

When they say they are idle, they were not the ones that engaged hundreds or sometime thousands of inexperienced “special assistants” looking for relevance, for normal administrative functions. They were not the ones that engaged consultants that have no delivery experience and can only do fancy PowerPoints. They did not make themselves idle.

If they are not delivering, are corrupt, or surplus to requirements, they are not responsible for disciplining, prosecuting or sacking themselves.

A few questions:
1. Who approves recruitment into the public service?
2. Who decides who and how many will be recruited?
3. Who is responsible for ensuring that people recruited are recruited based on need, not nepotism?
4. Where employees are idle, corrupt or unproductive, whose responsibility is it to discipline or fire them, following the rules?
5. In any endeavour, whose responsibility is it to give employees work?
6. If true that human resources are surplus to requirements (it is not, in my view, given the magnitude of problems we have in Nigeria), whose responsibility is it to cut it? Employee or employer?
7. FINALLY, if it was your father’s business, would you run it like this and continually blame your staff because they are to be seen and not heard?

If you can find the answers to the 7 questions above, you will start to understand what is wrong with our public service.

Yest, July 10 made it 60 years since Obafemi Awolowo’s first son, Olusegun, died in a car crash, along the old Lagos-Ibadan Road, aged 24.

Second screenshot is a 2023 tribute by his son, @segunawo (Jr)—who was born after his death—quoting Awo’s words on hearing the tragic news.
