Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development is set to commence the implementation of the Personnel Audit and Skills Gap Analysis (PASGA) Project, an intervention initiative of the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) aimed at strengthening human resource management and institutional capacity across the Federal Civil Service.
This was disclosed when the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of STRANSFORM Limited, the consulting firm engaged by the OHCSF, Dr. Offiong Archibong, PhD. led her team on a courtesy visit to the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Ibrahim Abubakar Kana, mni, office on 8th October, 2025 to formally brief the Ministry’s management on the project.
Kana welcomed the initiative and expressed the Ministry’s full commitment to the successful implementation of the project. He noted that the PASGA initiative aligns with ongoing reforms within the Federal Civil Service to promote an Efficient, Productive, Incorruptible, and Citizen-Centred (EPIC) workforce capable of delivering on the Ministry’s strategic objectives.
Kana commended the OHCSF for championing the transformative initiative and assured the consultants of the Ministry’s full cooperation throughout the exercise. He emphasized that the project’s outcomes would significantly enhance operational efficiency, human capital development, and overall service delivery within the Ministry and the aviation sector at large.
Speaking, Dr. Offiong Archibong explained that the PASGA Project is designed to establish accurate and up-to-date personnel records, strengthen human resource planning, and identify critical skills gaps that will guide targeted training, recruitment, and deployment across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
She further outlined that the project will focus on three key components: People Verification – to ensure the accuracy of personnel records; Skills Assessment – to determine existing competencies and identify training needs; and HR Policies and Systems Analysis – to review and strengthen human resource structures for optimal performance.
The Personnel Audit and Skills Gap Analysis (PASGA) Project is expected to contribute significantly to building a modern, technology-driven, and performance-oriented Civil Service capable of supporting national development objectives.
