Abstract
The rules or regulations of any human enterprise or organization set out its guiding principles and policy, acceptable conduct, modalities for actualizing organizational objectives and the basic rights, duties and entitlements of its personnel. Any organization is as effective as the rules guiding its operations. The Nigerian Public Service can be likened to an organization of human activity which is governed and regulated by rules. The Public Service Rules (PSR) provides the operational framework, the regulatory principles and a charter of rights, privileges and duties of all public servants while detailing what sanctions erring conducts could attract. The PSR is a guidebook for employee-employer relationship which also stipulates conditions of their engagement.

It is not surprising that the Public Service Rules (PSR) after 16 years of unbroken democratic governance since the emergence of the post-military era in 1999 still have some despicable provisions indicating hang-up or idiosyncrasy of the erstwhile military dictatorship. This is understandable because the PSR like the Constitution depicts the values and principles that were dominant in the military era but which ought to have been discarded with the advent of the current dispensation
