Nyesom Wike

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has issued a warning to the newly appointed Permanent Secretaries to resign if they have no plans to carry out their tasks effectively.

Wike gave the warning during the inauguration of the appointees in Abuja on Thursday.

Those inaugurated as Permanent Secretaries include Joy Okeke from the South East, Rotimi Ajayi from the South West, and Nancy Nathan from the North East.

Abdullahi Ango was inaugurated as the pioneer Mandate Secretary of the Youth Development Secretariat of the FCT Administration, while Gardiya Bawa was inaugurated as Solicitor General/Permanent Secretary for the Legal Services Secretariat of the FCTA.

Wike stated that every appointee must work and account for any assignment given to them, adding that he would not tolerate any excuses for failures.

He said, “President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled his part. 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.

“I am sure today you are satisfied that you are almost at the highest level of your career. The only level you may now want to reach is the Head of Civil Service.

“It is up to you to be committed and work hard. 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.

“Everybody must know that you must account for every assignment given to you.”
