In 2015, the Jonathan administration attempted a review of the monetisation policy in the civil service after over a decade of its continuous implementation in Nigeria. The administration discovered that despite helping government reduce expenditure cost in the civil service, the implementation of the policy has engendered unexpected consequences in the area of productive commitments of public servants. This study examined the effect of the implementation of the monetisation policy on staff productivity in selected Federal Ministries. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Primary and secondary data were used for the study. Primary data were collected through the administration of questionnaire and conduct of interviews. The study population comprised 1710 staffs from Ministries of Finance, Communications and Science and Technology. Simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 342 respondents, representing 20% of the study population. Interview was conducted with eight Directors, two from each Ministry. The data collected were analysed using percentages, mean and content analysis. The result showed that implementation of monetisation policy has not positively affected staff productivity in the Federal Ministries. The respondents disagreed with the effect of monetisation on the following indicators: high quality work outcome (3.95), large amount of work (4.0) and timely submission of reports (3.96). The study concluded that monetisation policy does not have positive effect on staff productivity in the Federal Ministries.
