October 13, (THEWILL) – President Bola Tinubu has approved the establishment of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
In addition, President Tinubu has also approved the withdrawal of the FCTA from the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, who disclosed these at a news conference in Abuja on Friday, said the President further approved the establishment of the Women Affairs secretariat, which would be commissioned next week.
The creation of the FCT Civil Service Commission will also give Wike more control over civil servants’ appointment, promotion, and discipline in the FCTA.
Speaking on Friday, Wike expressed sadness that the nonexistence of the commission has made it impossible for directors in the FCTA to attain the position of Permanent Secretary.
The withdrawal of the FCTA from the TSA would allow the territory, which is currently led by Minister Nyesom Wike, to utilise its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for development.
