Housing, Welfare, and Safety in Nigerian Federal Civil Service: A Critical Analysis of the Current State

Abstract

This paper critically analyzes the current state of housing, welfare, and safety in Nigerian federal civil service, highlighting the challenges faced by federal civil servants in accessing affordable housing, welfare benefits, and safety measures. The paper also assesses the effectiveness of current policies and regulations and their impact on federal civil servants' welfare and safety, and the implications of improving housing, welfare, and safety for the government, civil servants, and the society at large are discussed. Based on the review, recommendations are made to improve housing, welfare, and safety in the civil service, including increasing funding, improving infrastructure, providing training and awareness, implementing policies and regulations, addressing corruption, enhancing security measures, creating partnerships with private sector organizations, encouraging public-private partnerships, and implementing flexible working arrangements. This study affirms that the implementation of these recommendations will help to improve job satisfaction, attract and retain skilled workforce, improve health and well-being, reduce corruption, improve economic growth, and improve the standard of living of civil servants and their families.
