Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the implementation of the new Annual Performance Evaluation Report (APER) in the federal civil service of Nigeria as a performance management system. The paper reviews the literature on performance management, its relevance to organizational success, and the challenges associated with its implementation in Nigeria. The paper then examines the new APER system, its components, and the process for its implementation. It evaluates the impact of the APER system on employee performance and the overall organizational success of the federal civil service of Nigeria. The paper concludes that the implementation of the APER system has the potential to improve the performance of the federal civil service of Nigeria, but it is important to address some of the challenges that may hinder its effectiveness.
