Panic among FCT civil servants as Wike orders immediate reshuffling of directors

There is currently panic within the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), as management has reportedly concluded plans for an immediate reshuffle of directors across Secretariats, Departments, and Agencies (SDAs).

The move, which takes effect immediately following the swearing-in of the pioneer Head of Service, Permanent Secretaries of the FCTA, Chairman and FCT Civil Service Commission members, is expected to help enforce efficiency within the system.

The Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, revealed this during the swearing-in ceremony.

He advised the directors to accept their new postings in good faith and stated that there would be reshuffling across all sectors of the FCTA.

“Immediately after now, the Head of Service will send out the postings of Directors. I have said that there will be total reshuffling in all areas, and I’m going to implement it this afternoon,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Minister has warned the newly appointed permanent secretaries to perform or be shown the way out.

The Minister, who warned that the administration would not tolerate any act of indolence, also advised the Permanent Secretaries against unnecessary file delays or other antics that could slow the system.

He said: “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.”.
