The PSC Chairman, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu (Rtd), made this known while receiving a delegation from the institute led by its Second Vice President, Alhaji Lamis S. Dikko, at the Solomon Arase Conference Hall, PSC Corporate Headquarters in Abuja.

The meeting centred on deepening institutional collaboration, enhancing transparency and accountability, and exploring opportunities for joint initiatives in governance advocacy and capacity development.

Argungu noted that the objectives of the CIoD align with the Commission’s drive to modernise its operations and move beyond traditional civil service practices towards a more structured system of corporate governance.
