      ab: This article aims to analyse reforms of the Nigerian civil service by specifically examining the 1999-2007 reforms. The paper will also explore the reforms in a thematic perspective in the areas of Pension Reforms, Monetization Policy, Restructuring and Repositioning of Ministries, Downsizing, Financial Regulations, Anti-Corruption Policy, and Service Delivery. Thus, the paper argues that there are various controversies surrounding the 1999-2007 reforms in Nigeria, therefore recommendations are made on how to improve the effectiveness of civil service in Nigeria.
