The League of Serving and Retired FCTA Directors of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, has applauded President Bola Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for the establishment of FCT Civil Service Commission, Women Affairs Secretariat and the exit of the FCT Administration from the Treasury Single Account (TSA).

Chairman of the group, Lukeman Eramosele, lauded Tinubu and Wike for the landmark administrative reforms to reposition the FCTA bureaucracy for unprecedented physical and human development.

The league expressed delight and gratitude to the president and FCT minister for the political will to effect the far-reaching financial and structural reforms in barely two months, saying it would definitely take the FCT to an enviable level of development.

Eramosele, who particularly lauded the establishment of FCT Civil Service Commission, said unlike some of the retirees, who left the service without the opportunity of progressing beyond a director in the service, his serving colleagues and those to come after them, would now have the opportunity of becoming the head of civil service of the federation.

“The President and the FCT Minister have done very well by seeing the imperative and taking the bull by the horn in making the FCT Civil Service Commission operational within a record period of barely two months.

“Even though, some of us missed out because certain people in power could not muster the boldness and courage to establish this commission for us, I am indeed very delighted for those my colleagues who are still in the service, including those who will enter the service later,” Eramosele said.

He added that the pullout from TSA would make available funds from its internally generated revenue to be would be ploughed back into infrastructure development and service provision, making the era of abandoned projects in Abuja a thing of the past.
