Phillips Consulting presents PASGA report for a more capable, future-ready federal civil service

Phillips Consulting has formally presented the report from Nigeria’s Personnel Audit and Skills Gap Analysis project, closing an exercise designed to give the Federal Civil Service a clearer evidence base for reform.

The PASGA project combined personnel verification, workforce analytics and skills assessments across federal ministries, departments and agencies. Its findings move beyond a simple count of employees, focusing instead on what workers can do, where capability gaps exist and which skills require greater attention.

The report includes verification outcomes for personnel records, skills-gap findings, profiles of individual agencies and priorities for learning, reskilling, upskilling and broader workforce development. It also sets out recommendations aimed at improving workforce use and institutional effectiveness.

Phillips Consulting led the work with 15 cluster consultants, including Workforce Group, Stransform Limited, Pivotage Consulting, MacTay Consulting, TWPC Tech, Knewrow Performance Engineering, Zimedy Services, Evo & Hogg, GEORGID Consulting, Greenfields Consultancy and Allied Services, Qriosity International, 1StepAhead Consulting, Premium-Gold Resources Consulting, Time-Line Consult and Saddat Unique Services.

The report also contains a Reform Implementation Roadmap outlining priorities and actions for the next phase of public-sector transformation. It is intended to help the government assess the civil service’s current workforce position and plan the skills and institutions needed in the future.
