Abstract:
The Federal Civil Service of Nigeria plays a pivotal role in implementing government policies and delivering public services. To maintain efficiency and adaptability, continuous training and development of civil servants are essential. This paper examines the evolution, current state, and challenges of training within Nigeria's federal civil service, focusing on key training centers and their affiliates. Institutions such as the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN), Federal Training Centres (FTCs), and the Federal Civil Service Online Academy have been instrumental in capacity building. Despite their contributions, these institutions face challenges including outdated curricula, inadequate funding, and limited technological integration. Through qualitative analysis of existing literature and institutional reports, this study identifies gaps in the current training framework and offers recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of civil service training programs. Emphasizing the need for curriculum modernization, increased investment, and adoption of digital learning platforms, the paper advocates for a comprehensive strategy to strengthen the federal civil service's capacity to meet contemporary governance challenges.
