Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike has directed the newly sworn-in FCT Head of Service (HoS) to immediately reshuffle directors and other staff of the administration for better service delivery.
Wike gave the directive at the swearing-in ceremony of the newly appointed FCT Head of Service (HoS), permanent secretaries and the chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission (FCSC) in Abuja on Monday.
The minister stated that the posting would be total in all areas of the administration, adding that he would personally ensure the full implementation of the new postings.
According to him, “Immediately after now, the FCT Head of Service (HoS) will send out the postings of the directors and other staff of the administration. I have said that they will be a total reshuffling in all areas, and I am going to implement it this.”
The minister also told the newly appointed permanent secretaries to perform or be ready to be shown the way out.
“If you perform below expectations, there’s nothing like query. We have no time for that. We will just send you packing as permanent secretary.
So I don’t want to hear any complaints now that you will be handling secretariats. You have your secretaries as your political heads. I don’t want to hear that files are unduly delayed,” he said.
He also appealed to them to cooperate with the Mandate Secretaries in their various secretariats, to move the administration forward, adding that there is no need to struggle on who is bigger.
“They are like your commissioners. You have to cooperate with them, and I will also urge them to cooperate with you all. There’s no need of struggling who is bigger. No single person can work alone, because you require a team work to be able to succeed.”
He continued, “Please, we want you to assist and support the government of President Bola Ahmed tinubu to realize the Renewed Hope Agenda. So, what you owe Mr President is to make sure Abuja works and works very very well.”
