The Council of Retired Federal Permanent Secretaries (CORFEPS) will on Thursday, December 4, 2025, host its first-ever Dinner and Honours Award at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja an event set to celebrate Nigeria’s most iconic civil service pioneers and reinforce the enduring value of institutional memory in national development.
Themed “Harnessing CORFEPS as a Wealth of Knowledge for Nation Building,” the ceremony marks a major milestone for the Council as it formally inaugurates the CORFEPS Honours Award, designed to recognize the visionaries and foundational figures whose leadership helped shape the evolution of the Federal Public Service.
Delivering the keynote address is the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, GCON, who is expected to speak on the intersection of contemporary governance challenges and the crucial role of seasoned public administrators in strengthening national policy continuity. His remarks will spotlight how a nation’s capacity to progress is deeply rooted in its ability to retain and apply institutional wisdom.
