At that time, state service was predominantly military, with no one to implement the decisions of the crown and council. Hence, the idea is to recruit some people who would implement the decisions of the British crown, a job described as “civil service” because they do not wear uniforms like those in military service. FEDERAL SECRETARIAT, ABUJA Features of Public Service Permanence Neutrality Impartiality Expertise Anonymity Bureaucracy Hierarchy Functions of Public Service  Policy Formulation  Policy Implementation  Professional Advice  Fund Raising  Continuity in Government  Storage of Information  Employment  Budget Preparation  Research  Public Enlightenment  Delegated Functions Class Work Define Public Service Discuss 4 ways of improving Public Service in Nigeria  HOMEWORK  Discuss reasons for shortcomings in Public Service.  List ways of improving Public Service in Nigeria.
