The Head of Civil Service, Federal Capital Territory, Dr Udo Samuel Atang, has commended the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for engendering massive infrastructural development in the FCT.
He said the pace of the development witnessed currently was unprecedented in the history of the territory.
Atang said this in New Karu, Nasarawa State, at the weekend while declaring open the Step-Down Retreat and Training for FCTA Performance Managers.
He explained that the retreat aimed at driving the implementation of the performance bond signed by key ministers in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet would undoubtedly fast-track the realisation of democratic dividends and overall improvement of the well-being of the residents of the Territory and Nigerian citizens at large.
The Head of Service who was represented at the occasion by the Permanent Secretary of Common Services, FCTA, Bunmi Olowookere, remarked that it is not surprising that FCT is witnessing torrents of infrastructural overhaul, considering the minister’s track records of achievements spanning over two decades of public service career.
He added that the myriad of achievements had been made possible due to the minister’s zero tolerance on sloppy jobs, negligence as well as delivering below expectations and working behind schedule.
While giving an insight on some of the efforts the FCT Administration had made towards addressing some concerns and challenges that are being raised by some FCT residents and stakeholders, Dr Atang revealed that there was improved project reporting, enhanced preparedness, and reinforced operational framework.
The Head of Service who acknowledged the good works of the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy and Coordination/Head Central Delivery Coordination Unit, Hadiza Bala Usman, added that Wike would continue to collaborate with her office to achieve the goals of Mr. President as promised Nigerians.
