Wike approves confirmation of 1,659 FCTA workers employed in 2016, 2019
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has approved the confirmation of appointment for 1,659 staff members employed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) in 2016 and 2019.
Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Emeka Ezeh, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja.
The statement was signed by the minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka.
According to Ezeh, the 1,659 workers confirmed are part of the 2,281 staff members who participated in the confirmation examination organised by the commission on February 28.
He explained that the exercise was part of ongoing efforts to regularise the status of workers who had served the administration for several years but were yet to receive formal confirmation of their appointments.
He explained that some of the workers who sat for the confirmation examination were employed as far back as 2016 and 2019.
According to him, 2,512 candidates were invited for the confirmation examination, but only 2,281 turned up.
“A total of 224 officers were absent, fueling suspicion that they could be ghost workers.
“Some of the workers, who sat for the confirmation, were employed as far back as 2016 and 2019, while others were
employed shortly before Wike assumed office in August 2023.”
The chairman added that the Commission had also concluded plans to conduct both the 2025 and 2026 promotions as approved by the Minister.
“This is in line with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to renew the hope of the FCTA workforce,” he said.
Ezeh advised the workers to visit the Commission’s website, www.fctcsc.abj.gov.ng, to check the status of their names.
