SERVICOM BACKGROUND INFORMATION, STRUCTURE, VISION AND MISSION STATEMENTS, FUNCTIONS, ACHIEVEMENTS, OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The different sets of people who found their way into various organizations be it Education, Agriculture, Judiciary, Medicine, Security Agencies e.t.c bear in mind one motive or the other. This may tally or negate the primary objectives of Government establishment which is usually put in place for provision of public utility. The establishments cannot afford to hire and fire her workforce at any slightest provocation considering the list of expenses involved before the employee scaled through the hurdles of recruitment, placement, training and retraining exercise. Hence, the need to put in place certain agency or body to checkmate the excesses of Public Servants in terms of punctuality and regularity at work; stability at duty posts; effectiveness, transparency, integrity; fairness; timely delivery of services to all the stakeholders.
WHAT IS SERVICOM:
Service Compact with all Nigerians (SERVICOM) simply means an agreement signed in the early part of 2004 between the Nigeria Government and her citizens through the establishment of SERVICOM. This agreement has made the Government of the day to re-dedicate herself to the provision of basic services which each citizen is entitled to in a timely, fair, honest, effective and transparent manner. SERVICOM came into being because of anti-productive behaviour exhibited by the civil servants across the nation as observed by the former President Olusegun, Obasanjo. He noted that Government establishments such as Health, Education, Judiciary, Agriculture etc have turned their offices into shopping mall where files and other needs of their customers would not be worked upon unless their requests were supported with inducements and other lackadaisical attitude on the part of government workers.
1.0 SERVICOM UNIT:
The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro SERVICOM Unit was established in 2011 but was later inaugurated in 2015 in compliance with the Federal Government directives to rid the system and imprint in her staff the spirit of efficiency and effectiveness in the discharge of their duties.
To correct the age long injustice meted on the tax payers through whose funds the various institutions were put in place.
Prudent Management of time is very essential to the success of any engagement. Therefore, SERVICOM is concerned about what time it takes an officer to deliver a particular service.
Again, SERVICOM is deeply concerned about the elimination of institutional arrangement which hitherto was found wasteful. That is, it aimed to correct the ‘I do not care attitude’ of most Nigerians about the Government properties.
Once more, the service takers are imbued to challenge any service failure any time it occurred. The consensus opinion of the ex-President and his Ministers was that every customer has the legitimate right to be served right. The service provider is expected to seek redress in the face of any service failure.
The above points put together are meant to work towards building a sound democratic African nation whereby her workforce could proudly beat their chests and declare they have contributed their quota to the growth and development of their country.
