Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr Nyesom Wike, has said the FCT Civil Service Commission will commence operation soon.
The minister disclosed this, Monday, while inaugurating a five-kilometre dual carriageway in Kuje, Kuje area council of the FCT.
The minister said the development would be the first in the history of the FCT in line with the provision of the FCT Civil Service Commission (CSC) Law, 2018.
Recall that Wike had in October 2023 announced President Bola Tinubu’s approval for the establishment of CSC for the FCT.
The minister had explained that the civil service, when established, would allow career progression for civil servants in the FCT Administration to become permanent secretaries, who before now could only get to the position of a director.
“Very soon the FCT Civil Service Commission will be announced. This has never happened before.
“Mr President means well for FCT. That is why you must continue to defend the mandate of Jagaban (Tinubu) because Jagaban means well for the entire country.”
The Minister revealed that the move was in line with the renewed hope agenda of President Tinubu, by giving hope to the people where all hope was lost.
“The renewed hope agenda is not just on paper; the renewed hope agenda is practical. It is practical because you can see it, you can feel it and you can touch it.
“I know that yes, things may not be as fast as we expect it but what is important is that Nigerians are beginning to rekindle their hope that things will change.
“It will take some time, but it is important that they have the hope that things will change, and it has started changing from the rural areas,” he said.
