The Federal Government has introduced a virtual interactive platform designed to improve understanding and enforcement of the code of conduct for public officers, in a bid to strengthen integrity, accountability, and ethical governance.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Didi Walson-Jack, unveiled the tool in Abuja, describing it as a “compass” to guide public servants on ethical standards while eliminating ignorance as a defence for misconduct.
Developed by the Technical Unit on Governance and Anti-Corruption Reforms (TUGAR) in partnership with the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), the initiative aims to tackle corruption and ensure consistent application of the code nationwide.
Walson-Jack said the platform builds on a 2018 ethics framework review and will complement existing regulations such as the Public Service Rules and the Civil Service Handbook.
