The immediate past head of Civil Service of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dr Udo Atang, has commended the swift reforms initiated by the minister of the FCT, Barr. Nyesom Wike, upon taking office.

Atang said that in just three weeks of taking over, they transitioned from a halt in career advancement to appointing 13 permanent secretaries, paving the way for a more rewarding career structure.

The outgone pioneer head of civil service’s comments underscored the transformative impact of the Civil Service Commission Act on staff progression, productivity, and overall morale within the workforce.

Atang made the statement during a send-forth ceremony organised in his honour by the staff of FCTA as he retires from active service.

He also assured attendees of his continued support as he assumed his new role as senior special assistant on administration to the minister.

During the event, Atang reflected on significant advancements achieved under his leadership, particularly following the enactment of the Civil Service Commission bill, which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu signed into law in 2024.

“The establishment of the FCT Civil Service Commission has allowed us to overcome years of career stagnation and frustration,” he stated, acknowledging the hurdles faced by FCTA staff who had been unable to progress beyond the directorate level for extended periods.

Tributes from various stakeholders celebrated Dr. Atang’s leadership and contributions to the civil service’s evolution in the territory.

President of the Joint Union Action Committee (JUAC), Mrs Rifkatu Lortyer, commended Dr Atang for prioritising the welfare of junior staff, ensuring timely salary disbursements, and advocating for training opportunities.

Lortyer said that her earnest appeal for Atang to address lingering staff training concerns emphasised the FCT workforce’s profound respect and trust for his leadership.

“As Dr. Atang embarks on this new chapter, he leaves behind a legacy of reform and advancement that will resonate within the FCTA for years to come,” she said.

Earlier, the acting director of Reform Coordination and Service Improvement, Dr Jumai Ahmadu, expressed appreciation to all attendees, highlighting the sense of unity within the FCTA family.

 

She extended special gratitude to the permanent secretaries of the Treasury, Education, and Area Council for facilitating the event.

 

Ahmadu remarked that the overwhelming support and resources reflected Dr. Atang’s goodwill and the affection earned through his exceptional leadership.

 

Reflecting on Atang’s transition, she recalled his birthday celebration in March, which some anticipated would mark the conclusion of his service.

 

However, with a six-month extension and new appointment, Ahmadu hopes that Atang’s influence will extend beyond the FCTA to a national level.

 

She recognised Atang’s invaluable institutional memory and appreciated all directors and contributors who supported the occasion.

 

Also, the permanent secretary for Youth Development, Mrs. Nancy Nathan, hailed him as a transformative leader who implemented innovative policies enhancing service delivery and staff development.

 

“Today, we salute a visionary leader whose dedication and foresight have redefined the public service in the FCT,” she said.
