Modupe Mujota, stated this while leading other members of the Committee to appraise the budget performance of the Office of Head of Service, Civil Service Commission, Public Service Transformation Office and Bureau of Establishments and Training, Service Matters, as well as State Pensions.

Mujota said it was important to invest more in the public service to further position it for effective and efficient service delivery, saying “it is high time the entire service be digitised”.

The Chairman, alongside members including Honourables Oludaisi Elemide, Abayomi Fasuwa, Musefiu Lamidi, Kemi Oduwole and Sikiratu Ajibola encouraged accountants in charge of finance and accounts in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to always update their financial records and avoid posting of figures under inappropriate economic codes.
