The Director General of the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, has been honoured with the Award of Excellence in Capacity Building and Staff Welfare by the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, ASCSN.
The award, presented by the National Executive Council of the union, recognises her transformative leadership since assuming office, particularly her commitment to staff development, improved working conditions, and institutional reforms within NIMC.
Coker-Odusote has overseen the implementation of an ambitious 5-Point Agenda, placing staff welfare at its core. Under her leadership, more than 3,000 staff members have been promoted, while President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approved 25–30% salary increment was fully executed within the Commission.
She also introduced comprehensive training programmes, executive retreats, and management workshops to strengthen staff capacity across all departments.
In line with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, the NIMC DG rolled out over 2,500 new computer systems to enhance National Identification Number, NIN enrolment nationwide, equipping strategic units with upgraded workstations to meet global standards.
Additional welfare-focused initiatives include the introduction of free staff bus services, creation of a new staff car park, and the facilitation of government food palliatives to cushion economic pressures.
Her open-door policy and proactive engagement with labour unions have fostered improved workplace harmony, with the ASCSN praising her for “rare sincerity and sensitivity to the yearnings of workers” and for implementing policies that have “enhanced productivity, improved working conditions and strengthened social dialogue.”
The latest honour adds to her growing list of recognitions, including the recent Innovation Service Delivery Award from the Association of Corporate Online Editors (ACOE), acknowledging her advancements in digital service delivery.
