Abstract
Effective Civil Service Administration is at the core of developing a strong, productive and vibrant workforce. However, in the face of a continuously retiring workforce and shortage of experienced personnel, the role of knowledge management in propelling administrative functions can therefore not be underestimated as it focuses on integrating people, processes and technology to nurture and share knowledge. This study focused on identifying and analysing the knowledge management culture within Akwa Ibom State Civil Service and the related factors that either impede or enhance effective service administration; as a proactive measure towards alleviating the administrative loopholes created by generational gap and poor resource planning. Findings showed the need for knowledge transfer and retention through the implementation of knowledge information systems, mentorship and organisational learning programs as an innovative approach towards ensuring an effectively consistent civil service administration.
