Nyesom Wike Dismisses Heads Of 21 FCT Agencies: Reasons Remain Unspecified

In a surprising move, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has taken decisive action by dismissing the heads of 21 parastatals, agencies, and government companies under the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

This development was announced in a statement released on Wednesday, September 27, 2023.

Additionally, the reshuffling extends to key figures such as the MD of Abuja Broadcasting Corporation, MD of Abuja Enterprise Agency, GM of FCT Water Board, DG of FCT Emergency Management Agency, Executive Secretary of FCT Primary Healthcare Board, Director General of Hospital Management Board, Director of Abuja Environmental Protection Board, Director of FCT Scholarship Board, and Director of FCT Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board.

The heads of the Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board and the Abuja Infrastructure Investment Centre, the Director of the FCT Health Insurance Scheme, the Coordinator of the Satellite Towns Development Department, and the Coordinator of Abuja Metropolitan Management Council are also among those affected by Wike's sweeping decision.

The statement concluded with an assurance that appointments to these offices will be made in due course, leaving many anticipating what the future holds for these crucial positions within the FCTA.
