Tinubu Pledges to Build Digitally Empowered Workforce for Sustainable Growth

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s firm commitment to developing a world-class, digitally-driven, and citizen-focused workforce capable of driving inclusive and sustainable national development.

Speaking through the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, the President delivered the message at the opening ceremony of the 57th International Conference and Exhibition of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM).

Tinubu described the conference as a vital platform for thought leaders, policymakers, and human resource professionals to engage on the evolving dynamics of the modern workplace, in line with the theme, “Reimagining the New World of Work.”

He commended CIPM for nearly six decades of promoting professionalism, ethical leadership, and excellence in human capital development, acknowledging the institute’s pivotal role in advancing workforce governance across public and private sectors.

Highlighting the Renewed Hope Agenda, the President noted that Nigeria’s most valuable resource lies not in its natural endowments but in its people. He cited key government initiatives such as the 3 Million Technical Talent Programme (3MTT) and the National Talent Export Programme (NATEP)—both aimed at positioning Nigeria as a global hub for skilled digital professionals.

Tinubu also restated his administration’s resolve to transform the public service through the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2025 (FCSSIP25), which targets a fully digital and paperless civil service by December 31, 2025.

He noted that the adoption of the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution marks a major step toward improving efficiency, transparency, and accountability across government operations.
