The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has inaugurated a new executive committee of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, FMAFS chapter. The event, attended by senior ministry officials, marked a leadership transition aimed at boosting staff welfare and institutional efficiency. Bukar Musa, representing permanent secretary Marcus Olaniyi Ogunbiyi, stated the move aligns with internal reforms to improve service delivery. He emphasized linking staff welfare with operational performance to support national food security goals.
Ogunbiyi, through a speech centered on union leadership and social movements, called for a balance between institutional continuity and innovation in labour relations. He urged the new ASCSN leadership to uphold integrity, inclusiveness, and strategic engagement with management. Fatoki Adebukola, representing Human Resources director Modupe Adebayo, stressed that sustained collaboration between management and labour is vital for stability.
Idachaba Daniel Ojonimi, the newly inaugurated ASCSN FMAFS chairman, pledged to enhance the union's relevance and responsiveness. He committed to working with stakeholders to improve welfare outcomes and support the ministry's mandate. The event concluded with awards presented to outgoing executives in recognition of their service.
The ministry highlights staff welfare as key to food security, yet ties it only to internal reforms with no mention of tangible benefits or timelines. Ojonimi's pledge to improve welfare outcomes stands without reference to specific grievances or past failures. If welfare remains abstract, the link between motivated staff and food production stays unproven.
