The Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Dr. Mohammed Shehu, has encouraged the Commission’s staff to start using automation and digital tools in their daily work.
He said this during a two-day workshop on Performance Management System (PMS) held in Abuja.
Dr. Shehu, represented by Mr. Shuaibu Agaka, who represents Kwara State on the Commission, explained that digital tools help reduce mistakes and improve how data is collected, processed, and analyzed.
He said the goal of the workshop is to help staff work better and become more productive overall.
“This training on the new Performance Management System is meant to replace the old Annual Performance Evaluation Report we used before,” he said.
He added that the Federal Government wants workers to use technology to make their work faster, easier, and more efficient.
“Using digital tools helps reduce errors and improves data accuracy. We want staff to adopt this so that the old manual system is no longer used,” he said.
Dr. Shehu also said the Commission recently held a promotion exam through a digital platform, showing a clear step toward full digital adoption.
He noted that digital tools will lead to better, faster, and more citizen-friendly services.
He advised staff to mentally prepare for changes in the way they work.
“If you don’t adjust to the new system, you may be left behind,” he warned.
He told staff to change their mindset and attitude to adapt to the coming changes.
Dr. Shehu also asked participants to take the training seriously and keep working on improving themselves as the Commission adopts the new system.
Also speaking at the event, the Commission’s Secretary, Mr. Joseph Nwanze, said RMAFC is an important institution that must keep moving forward. He said the training was created to help staff get ready for the digital shift.
He added that the training is meant to help staff learn new skills and improve their chances of career growth.
“Take this chance to learn, and be willing to unlearn old ways that don’t fit with our new direction,” Nwanze said.
He also reminded participants to act professionally, dress properly, and be punctual, saying this helps build respect, discipline, and productivity.
A consultant from Relief Line Nigeria, Mr. Emmanuel Ohiro, praised the initiative and encouraged staff to take the training seriously because it would help them do their jobs better.
One of the staff members, Mrs. Elizabeth Keghku, thanked the Commission for the training and said it would help them better understand the Commission’s mission, goals, and expectations.
