Good evening peeps,

Please I need to know the difference between Public servants and Civil Servants.


Thanks

Public servant: A servant that is not hidden.
Civil servant: A polite servant.

A civil servant can be defined as a bureaucrat hired by the government to work for the public sector. Examples are teachers, traffic wardens, workers at government secretariat.

Public servant, on the other hand, is an elected or appointed member of the government for social or public services. Examples are governors, presidents, commissioners, senators.

The difference is in the looting capacity.. nothing more

Thanks all.
I appreciate

Civil servants serves the public, but the are being employed by the state to work within there capacity (i.e government school teachers, immigration officers e.t.c)

While public servant is any one who renders services to the public, i.e a banker, pastor , Teachers, governors, e.t.c

Civil servant are work for pubic servant while public servant are politicians

Every civil servant is a public servant, but not all public servants are civil servants.
Civil servants are people employed by the government for its day to day activities. Examples are people that work in ministries. Public servants are people that work in specialised agencies of the government. Examples are people that work in agencies like EFCC, NNPC, Central Bank,FIRS,and all autonomous agencies.

Civil servants are employed by public servants to assist them in the process of public service
