Effective performance management has been acknowledged by management scientists as sine qua non for optimal growth and development of organizations, for profit or not for profit making entities alike. Selected literatures reveal that hitherto, financial performance has been the primary focus of performance management in both private businesses and governmental ministries and agencies. However, recent arguments have revealed the flaws of the traditional performance management instruments and advocated contemporarily and more plausible instruments that could engender optimal growth and development of organizations. The primary objective of this paper is to review the performance management practices in Nigeria with a view to exploring contemporary and more pragmatic practices that would enhance service delivery by the government. The paper reveals, from existing literature, that public service in Nigeria is characterized by attendant weaknesses that engender poor performance in service delivery. It was also discovered that the performance management instrument in Nigeria public service is primarily focused on financial performances such as budget performance and, recently, value for money audit,and employee performance evaluation; with total neglect of other contributory ingredients of optimal service delivery. It was recommended that Nigerian government should tactically develop its performance management instruments along the morerobust balanced scorecard postulates; this will provide an all-inclusive basis for performance management and facilitate optimal performance in Nigeria public service.
