Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dr Mariya Mahmoud, has emphasised the administration’s commitment to ensuring that the welfare of all staff is the topmost priority of the administration.
Mahmoud who spoke at the grand reception in honour of 33 retired management staff of the administration, said the establishment of the FCT Civil Service Commission was one of the promises fulfilled.
The minister, who was represented by her senior special assistant on administration and strategy, Dr Abdullahi Isah Kauramata, said the establishment of the commission had restored lost hope among career civil servants in the FCT Administration.
“I think hope has been given to the civil servants; that hope of realising your ultimate desire; that hope of reaching the peak of civil service career, has been granted today by the present administration.
“The ongoing activity of award and recognition is one of those steps we will continue to take to appreciate you; because words alone cannot appreciate the contributions you have made.
What we need to do is to give you more hope by engaging you where necessary,” she said.
