Abstract:
This paper investigates new reform efforts within the Nigerian civil service from
2000 to 2024, focusing on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS),
monetization of fringe benefits, and the sale of government-owned properties. These reforms
were aimed at curbing corruption, reducing costs, and improving transparency. Drawing on
scholarly articles, particularly those on ResearchGate and the works of Patrick T. Pillah, this
paper explores the disconnect between policy intentions and outcomes. It employs qualitative
methodology and policy evaluation frameworks to determine the effectiveness of these
initiatives. Findings indicate a pattern of partial implementation, institutional resistance, and
fiscal leakage. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening reform execution,
enhancing transparency, and fostering a more accountable civil service.
