It was concluded that strategic management process has a significant and positive effect on the performance of Akwa Ibom State Civil Service Commission. It was recommended that the strategic planning process in the studied ministries should be improved through adequate resource allocation as this will improve the performance of the organisation, and strategic choices should be made based on the prevailing economic developments to ensure optimal realisation of corporate goals.
