Abstract
The Civil Service popularly called "Bureaucracy" has faced a lot of criticisms
and condemnations by successive governments foi its alleged low level of efficiency
and effectiveness, corruption and almost total lack of commitment. Because of these
negative views of the Service, several Commissions. Panels and Committees have
been set up to overhaul it but to no avail
The 1988 Civil Service Reforms therefore, is aimed at redressing the ills of the
Service which previous Reforms have not been able to tackle.
This research has arisen with a view to evaluating the extent of implementation
of the Reforms and its consequent effect on the efficiency and effectiveness of the
Service.
Our findings have proved the following the need for re-introduction of the
post of Mead of Service is very essential; the acrimony between the "professionals" and
the "Administrators" has been removed to a great extent even though not-wholly; the
Accountability clause which makes Commissioners both Chief Executives and
Accounting Officers has not produced positive results.
Based on these findings, Kogi State carved out of the then Kwaia and Benue
States has to a large extent implemented the recommendations of the 1988 Civil
Service Reforms.
It further shows that the state is endowed with efficient manpower who if given
enough encouragement will produce high results
