Mrs Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita on Thursday formally took over from Mr Danladi Kifasi as Head of Service of the Federation.
In a brief handover ceremony in Abuja which also marked Mr Kifasi's formal retirement, the new Head of Service pledged to make the Civil Service more efficient and timely in their service to Nigerians.
She called for an innovative civil service that will help the new government to meet the huge expectations of Nigerians.
"Today marks yet another important milestone in our desire to improve and re-engineer the Federal Civil service to effectively work as a machine for formulating and implementing government policies and programmes.
“At a time such as this when expectations of our people on the new government are so huge, we have to be innovative and reposition ourselves to deliver efficient, timely and quality services to meet the desires of our people,” she said.
She also urged civil servants to key into government's agenda for change, social transformation and poverty reduction.
