President
Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel has urged professionals
in the private sector to take interest in the public service to
ensure that the democratic system is strengthened.
Emmanuel, who spoke at the investiture of Mr. Udom Inoyo as
President of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management
(CIPM), at the Oriental Hotel, Lagos, explained that having more
private sector professionals in the political system would tidy up
the political process.
“In mature democracies and economies public service attracts the
best in those societies. As professionals in politics, we can start
a new conversation that is predicated on selfless service to our
people and in the process show that government and governance can
indeed be a force for good,” he remarked.
Emmanuel, while comparing process in the public and private
sector, said recruitment and appointment in the private sector is
mostly based on merit and driven by set criteria; unlike in the
public sector, where election and appointment into positions are
based on a number of other complicated balancing acts.
The governor, who revealed that in his more than two years in
office, he has learnt new dynamics in human relations and
management, said although it takes twice as much hard work in the
public sector to manage passions that may have been shaped by
zero-sum tendencies, he said what is most important is for leaders,
irrespective of the criteria that threw up the members of their
team, the team combination and dynamics, must still be able to lead
them towards achieving set goals.
“While this task is much easier and straightforward in the
private sector considering set standards and criteria which are
adhered to by all players, it is a lot more challenging in the
public sector considering the multiplicity of contending
considerations,” he explained, adding that this divergence in
practices and approaches between the public and private sectors
suggests that players in both sectors have a lot to learn from each
other, and hence, the need for continuous collaboration between the
two sectors.
Emmanuel said he has directed the state’s Head of Service (HOS)
to initiate the process of collaboration with the CIPM towards
enhancing the professionalism, competency and capability
development and certification of officers who are in administrative
roles the state’s civil service. He promised to monitor the
programme as well as the effectiveness of those trained and
certified.
Emmanuel, while congratulating Inoyo, assured the body that with
its new president, the institute is assured of continuous adherence
to professional standards and unwavering commitment to integrity-
values he noted have stood the institute out as a premier training
facility for professionals.
Inoyo called for increased collaboration between the private
sector and government to leap-frog human capacity development in
Nigeria.
He observed that Nigeria’s huge population is its biggest asset
and to fully harness the human potential, there is need for
government and the organised private sector to strengthen
partnerships with a view to better manage the abundant human
resources for improved productivity and profitability. “When human
resources are well managed, bottom-line will be impacted”, he
added.
The new President called for collaborative efforts among
governments and other stakeholders, such as CIPM for effective
human capital utilisation.
Inoyo said: “There is need for more engagement between
government and professional organisations such as CIPM towards
developing human talent. The CIPM was established to regulate the
practice of human resource management in Nigeria and to promote
excellence in the acquisition and application of knowledge and
skills by professionals thereby enhancing sustainable national
development.
Inoyo, who is executive director, Human Resources at ExxonMobil,
pledged to work with the Akwa Ibom State government and other
partners and stakeholders to enhance human capacity development
across Nigeria.
The immediate past president, Mr. Anthony Arabome, commended the
institute’s succession process. He said over the years, the
institute has taken deliberate steps to enhance an early
realisation of its vision of being a foremost people management
organisation.
