Governor of Kaduna, Nasir Ahmad El-rufai has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no option but to perform effectively.
In a keynote address at the Stakeholders Conference on Public Service Delivery, held at Arewa House on Wednesday, El-Rufai said politics should not be allowed to interfere with service delivery to the people, Vanguard reports.
According to him, “performance is directly related to capability and capacity, that is why there should be continuous self assessment of the system, structure, and staffing, understand the challenges affecting performance, strength, weaknesses and identify areas for improvement.
“Government has no choice but to visibly perform. This federal government was credibly elected by people of this country in 2015, and has continued to enjoy unwavering support and solidarity all the way.
“Having given so much to our government, including our state government, the people have legitimately had even unrealistic expectation, unless we can find a sustained way of building government capability and capacity for improving service delivery in all facets of public live, am afraid this will leave our people who elected us to serve them feeling frustrated and disappointed and unfulfilled.
“It is in this respect that, I am of the strong view that public service delivery must be needs driven and governed by a coherent service charter with well articulated performance and target, with appropriate sanctions for failure to deliver. “Our public service must be energized in order to fulfill government’s capability and capacity to serve and deliver effectively.
“I think it is Albert Einstein who said that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different result. Therefore if we are that things are not working as they should in Nigeria, it means that we must change our way of doing things and the new paradigm must therefore focus on result and not how much effort we put in place,” he concluded.
No sir, the end doesn’t justify the means anymore. It really makes a difference how you did something. Please upgrade to the modern leadership concepts.
