Government needs to reward excellence among civil servants to serve as morale boosters for others.

It is important that government embarks on training and retraining of its workforce to improve productivity.

There is the need for government to ensure that workers are paid as and when due to motivate workers for optimal performance.

 It makes a lot of sense that people will work harder, faster and better when they are happy and positively motivated.

To improve the public service, it is pertinent that workers play their part by being diligent and dedicated to their duties while the government should equip the service with technological know how for improved service delivery.

To whom much is given much is expected, it behoves Nigerian workers to reciprocate governments gesture by contributing their quota to the socio economic development of the country.
