In order to facilitate career advancement for civil officials working in the FCT Administration, President Bola Tinubu has approved the creation of the Civil Service Commission for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
On Friday in Abuja, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, revealed this to reporters.
He added that in 2018, former vice president Yemi Osibanjo signed a bill approved by the National Assembly creating a CSC for the Federal Capital Territory.
Wike said: “So, I wrote a Memo to Mr. President. I say, you have a renewed hope agenda; civil servants in FCT are suffering; they have lost hope.
“They are not committed to work. Why should I be working because, at the end of the day, I can’t get to the apex of my career? As such, we must implement that 2018 law as passed by the National Assembly.
“If there are challenges, of course, there is no law that is perfect. You can only know the challenges when you start implementing.
“So, let’s implement, whatever the challenges are, then we can begin to talk of how we can amend it
“I can tell you authoritatively that Mr. President has given the approval for the establishment of the Civil Service Commission for the FCTA.”
