Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), says the newly inaugurated permanent secretaries in the FCT administration will be sacked if they perform below expectations.

Wike spoke in Abuja on Monday after the inauguration of the chairman and commissioners of the FCT civil service commission, the head of the service, and the permanent secretaries.

He warned that the permanent secretaries should know that they are not political appointees.

“If you perform below our expectations, there is nothing like query him in accordance with civil service rules,” NAN quoted him as saying.

“We have no time for that. We will just send you packing as permanent secretary. I don’t want to hear that files are unduly delayed.

“We want you to support the government of President Bola Tinubu to realise the renewed hope agenda.”

Wike reminded the FCT workers of the long struggle for the realisation of the civil service commission since the enactment of the law in 2018.

He said as Tinubu had actualised the dream, it was only fair that workers pay back by being committed and working for the success of his administration.

The minister said the newly inaugurated head of service would send out posting letters to directors as part of his promise to reshuffle them.
