What happened to FCT Civil service commission? | The Guardian Nigeria News

Hold your breath, I have to return to my organic beat, Abuja today because there is a great deal of politicking and even petty revisionism going on there and many residents aren’t taking note. Even the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal’s judicial pronouncement on Abuja without reference to earlier judicial precedents on the same issue by Supreme Court has raised more questions than answers.

It is quite unfortunate that the structure of the bureaucracy to run a full-fledged Capital has been weak and that is the reason the superstructure has also been unreliable. The Constitutional provisions on FCT have been vague and the Ministers in the Temple of Justice often interpret the provisions so curiously and dubiously to satisfy different political interests at different dispensations.

There are Education Secretary, Health and Human Services Secretary, etc. In all of these, there is no legal backing from the National Assembly. And what is worse, there has been no agency for the recruitment, discipline and promotion of the FCT Civil Service. Yet, the civil and public servants of the FCT are not listed by the Federal Civil Service Commission.

On August 2, 2022, the Joint Unions Action Committee of the Federal Capital Territory Administration , the Federal Capital Development Authority and the Satellite Towns Development Agencies , had declared in a statement that it was set to mobilise all staff of the FCTA, the FCDA and the SDAs for a 40, 000-delegates march to compel the Minister of Federal Capital Territory to, within 21 days, consider and direct the immediate implementation of the FCT-Civil Service Commission Act of 2018.
