Mariya Mahmoud, Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has pledged to enhance the welfare of FCT Administration (FCTA) workers.
She made this promise in Abuja on Thursday at a dinner and award ceremony to honour management staff of the FCTA and Federal Capital Development Authority, who retired between January and March.
The minister, represented by her senior special assistant on administration and strategy, Abdullahi Kauramata, stated that improved welfare would boost workers’ commitment.
She acknowledged FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s dedication to workers’ welfare, emphasising that employees must also contribute.
Udo Atang, head of civil service, FCTA, commended the retirees for their lasting impact, citing their values of integrity, dedication, and service as an inspiration to those still in service.
He encouraged them to remain engaged in their communities, share their experience, and continue to be role models.
The dinner and award committee chairperson, Jumai Adamu, explained that the event, introduced in 2023, recognised senior management staff that have reached 60 or completed 35 years of service.
She emphasised the importance of acknowledging and appreciating their contributions, which motivated those in active service and set a positive example.
