If You Don't Have Capacity To Work, Resign Now - Wike's Warning to New FCT Permanent Secretaries

In a decisive move aimed at ensuring accountability and efficiency within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) administration, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the FCT, has issued a stern warning to newly appointed Permanent Secretaries.

During their inauguration in Abuja, Wike made it clear that any appointee who cannot perform their duties effectively should resign immediately.

"Everybody must know that you must account for every assignment given to you," Wike emphasized, noted the importance of diligence and responsibility.

He added, "If you know you have no capacity to work, it is better you resign now, at least you will leave with the emoluments of a former Permanent Secretary."

The newly inaugurated Permanent Secretaries include Joy Okeke from the South East, Rotimi Ajayi from the South West, Nancy Nathan from the North East, Abdullahi Ango as the pioneer Mandate Secretary of the Youth Development Secretariat, and Gardiya Bawa as Solicitor General/Permanent Secretary for the Legal Services Secretariat.

Wike stressed that President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled his part by appointing these officials, and it is now up to them to deliver. "It is up to you to work with us, work with me, and identify programmes that can make the youth entrepreneurial.

This will help the youths reduce the effects of hardship and if anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible," he stated.
