The Federal Executive Council (FEC) yesterday took several critical policy decisions designed to strengthen the welfare of public servants, diversify the economy, and address unemployment.
Chief among these was the renewal of the Group Life Assurance Scheme for federal government employees, a move described as a testament to the Tinubu Administration’s commitment to public service welfare.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack, said the scheme, which covers the 2025/2026 policy year, is designed to provide financial succour to the families of deceased federal public servants, including top-ranking government officials.
“The Federal Government has taken out a life policy on each public servant. In the unfortunate event of death, the next of kin will receive benefits to cushion the loss.
“This underscores the importance that the Tinubu Administration places on the welfare of federal workers”, Walson-Jack said.
According to her, the coverage extends not only to civil servants but also includes the President, Vice President, Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, and personnel in Treasury-funded ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).
The policy also applies to key paramilitary and uniformed agencies such as the Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Correctional Service, the Federal Fire Service, the Federal Road Safety Corps, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), and the Office of the National Security Adviser.
Mrs Walson-Jack also said 17 insurance underwriters have been appointed to manage the policy, which is renewable annually.
The policy, according to her, will become active upon the payment of premiums, in line with the Federal Government’s “no premium, no cover” directive.
“This policy has been in existence for several years, but many public servants remain unaware of its provisions,” Walson-Jack said, adding that her office is set to embark on a nationwide sensitisation campaign.”
“I’m thankful for the opportunity to shed light on this important benefit, which affects every federal public servant, including members of the media.
“No family of a deceased public servant should be left without support,” she said.
