The recently appointed permanent secretaries of the FCT Administration, have been warned by Minister Nyesom Wike that they must perform or else they will be fired.
Following the inauguration of the FCT head of service, the commissioners and chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, and the permanent secretaries in Abuja on Monday, Mr. Wike issued the warning.
“You understand that, as a permanent secretary, you are not a political appointee, and if you fail to meet our standards, you can question him in compliance with civil service regulations.
Mr. Wike added, “I don’t want to hear that files are unduly delayed. We want you to support the government of President Bola Tinubu to realize the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
The minister reminded workers of the long struggle for the realization of the FCT Civil Service Commission since the enactment of the law in 2018.
He said that, as Mr. Tinubu had actualized the dream, it was only fair that workers pay back by being committed and working for the success of his administration.
The minister said the newly inaugurated head of service would send posting letters to directors as part of his promise to reshuffle them.
Mr. Wike also called on the coordinators of the Satellite Towns Development Department (STDD), Abuja Municipal Management Council (AMMC), and Abuja Infrastructure Investment Council (AIIC) to discharge their duties diligently.
He particularly urged the STDD coordinator to pay close attention to the developments in area councils in line with the directive of Mr. Tinubu.
Mr. Wike also urged the AMMC coordinator to make sure the street lights are working, sanitation is done well, and public buildings are well repaired.
Those inaugurated are Emeka Ezeh as chairman of the commission and six commissioners representing the six geopolitical zones.
The commissioners are Ahmed Mohammed (North-West), Anthony Okeah (South-South), Mohammed Ibrahim (North-East), Miskoom Naantuam (North-Central), Jide Jimoh (South-West), and Barrister Azubike (South-East).
