Vanguard News Translate Bureaucratic deficit: Nigeria can’t succeed with a mediocre civil service On By Olu Fasan THERE is a tendency to blame politicians for the appalling way Nigeria is run. Rightly so: the buck must stop with them. But the government environment is also inhabited by another species: civil servants. While politicians should provide leadership and set vision, civil servants should translate the vision into workable policy and effective delivery. The relationship is symbiotic. A state without visionary leaders who can provide the right political leadership and the right vision is doomed to fail. But, as Max Weber, the German sociologist, said, the state cannot conduct its affairs without the bureaucracy. And truth is, no country has ever truly developed without a first-class civil service.
