Overview

The document is the revised Public Service Rules (PSR) 2021 of the Federal Government of Nigeria. It outlines the application, definitions, and foundational principles governing the conduct and conditions of service for public officers. The rules apply to all ministries, extra-ministerial offices, and agencies, except where specific contractual terms override them. Certain high-ranking officials (e.g., President, Vice President, National Assembly members, Chief Justice, ministers, justices, and heads of statutory bodies) are exempt from these rules where they conflict with constitutional provisions. All officers are required to familiarize themselves with these rules, regulations, and circulars. The document provides definitions for key terms such as 'Accredited Representative,' 'Civil Service of the Federation,' 'Classified Correspondence,' 'Cut-off Mark,' 'Established Post,' 'Expatriate Officer,' 'Gazette,' and 'Interdiction.' These definitions clarify the scope and interpretation of the rules for uniform application across the public service.
