FEDERAL CHARACTER/QUOTA SYSTEM AND PRODUCTIVITY OF NIGERIA PUBLIC SERVICE
ABSTRACT
Nigeria developed a federal structure to ensure that no group or division suffers from imbalance or marginalisation. However, its implementation has been met with criticism from academics and public servants who perceive it as a tool for preferring some groups over others. It had been connected to the civil service system’s high level of administrative inefficiency, despite a slew of improvements over the years.
The study looked at how the federal character principle was applied and how it affected service delivery in the Nigerian federal civil service. The Nigerian federal civil service is the foundation of the country’s socioeconomic progress. However, service delivery and infrastructure development have remained a hydra-headed problem over the years.
Secondary data was used in the research, and when all investigations were completed, it was discovered that there is a relationship between the federal character concept and employees’ service delivery, as well as bureaucrats’ unfavourable attitude towards work.
To achieve efficient service delivery and a better attitude towards work among civil servants, the government should adopt the precepts of Marx Weber bureaucratic theory in terms of merit-based recruitment,
technical competency, and qualification, as well as re-examine the reliability and validity of the application of the federal character principle.
Also, prior to the establishment of the NEEDS, which has both SEEDS and LEEDS as its state and local government levels, the research analysed previous planning experience in Nigeria and defined critical actions required for institutionalising the development planning model in Nigeria.
