The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Monday, announced the establishment a Civil Service Commission for the territory.
Mr Wike, who stated this during a meeting with the Directors of the FCTA and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) on Monday, said the commission would appoint nine permanent secretaries to oversee the secretariats.
The secretariats are Agriculture and Rural Development, Transport and Economic Planning, Revenue Generation and Public Private Partnership.
The others are Education, Social Development, Legal Services, Area Council, Health and Environment, and Women Affairs.
He said senior directors in the FCTA would be appointed as permanent secretaries for the seretariats.
He also said the commission will manage the employment, training, and discipline of FCT Civil Servants, adding that this mirrors similar structures in state administration across the country.
“By the grace of God, we will have a head of service. We will have permanent secretaries that will head the various secretariats, just like what is obtainable in the states,” he said.
Mr Wike recounted the opposition faced during the policy implementation and emphasised President Tinubu’s stance on the establishment of the commission.
He further underscored the importance of geographical representation, saying the six geopolitical zones in the country must be represented in the appointments in line with the Federal Character Principle.
Mr Wike cautioned against any act of sabotage within the FCT Administration and stressed the need for full support from directors to achieve the president’s mandate.
