The Federal Civil Service joins the Nation in mourning the passing of former President
Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, who died on Sunday, July 13, 2025, in the United Kingdom.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, on behalf of the Nigerian Civil Service, expresses heartfelt condolences to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the family of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, and the Government and people of Katsina State.
“President Buhari’s legacy is firmly etched in the annals of Nigeria’s history as a statesman who led with distinction, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to national service. From his stewardship as Military Head of State (1984–1985), to his tenure as a democratically elected President (2015–2023), he remained a symbol of integrity and patriotic dedication.
“His administration achieved notable milestones in public sector reform, particularly through the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2017–2020 (FCSSIP-20) and its successor, the FCSSIP 2021–2025”.
She said these efforts “enhanced transparency, strengthened the anti-corruption framework, expanded social investment programmes, and accelerated infrastructure renewal across the country.
“His enduring impact on the Civil Service, marked by the promotion of efficiency, accountability, and the digitilisation of government operations continues to drive administrative transformation”.
