The Director-General of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC), Prof. Nnanyelugo Ike-Muonso has called on staff to fully embrace the Performance Management System (PMS) as part of efforts to reposition and rebrand the council for greater efficiency.
Speaking during the PMS training at the council’s headquarters in Abuja, Prof. Nnanyelugo emphasized that the PMS is a crucial tool for enhancing productivity, ensuring accountability, and aligning the council’s operations with national development goals. He noted that adopting the system would foster a more results-driven culture within RMRDC, ensuring that staff embrace discipline to achieve the Council’s full potential.
He urged staff members to be a watering can that waters plants and causes it to bring forth fruits so that people will eat it, therefore should see the PMS as an opportunity for personal development and a new hope for the council, rather than a mere bureaucratic exercise.
According to him, the initiative will not only build a new RMRDC but also make staff members stars by assessing their performance and reward hard-work and productivity.
