President Bola Tinubu has appointed four new permanent secretaries for the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
This was disclosed in a statement by Anthony Ogunleye, the FCTA Director of Press.
He said the appointments was driven by the upcoming retirement of two current secretaries and the establishment of a new Youth Development Secretariat.
The new appointees include Okeke Joy Chinwe from the South East, Ajayi Rotimi Babatunde from the South West, and Nathan Nancy Sabanti from the North East.
Also in addition to these appointments, President Tinubu has officially formalized the position of the Solicitor-General of the FCT Administration as Solicitor-General/Permanent Secretary for the Legal Services Secretariat.
The swearing-in ceremony for the newly appointed secretaries, along with the Youth Mandate Secretary, is slated to take place on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
These appointments according to Ogunleye are crucial for maintaining the effective administration of the FCT as it adapts to evolving needs and changes in leadership.
With these new appointments, the FCTA is poised to continue its work under fresh leadership, ensuring the smooth operation of its various departments and the successful implementation of its mandates.
