President Tinubu’s Bold Policy Shift: FCTA’s Exit from TSA and the Birth of FCT Civil Service Commission.

In a significant policy shift, President Bola Tinubu has made the decision to withdraw the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) system. This strategic move allows the Nyesom Wike-led FCTA to harness the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the territory for the purpose of advancing the development of the nation’s capital.

In a recent announcement on Friday, President Tinubu disclosed that the President of the nation has officially sanctioned the establishment of the FCT Civil Service Commission. This development is of great significance as it aims to create a structured pathway for the career progression of FCT Administration employees. Civil servants in the territory have long voiced their concerns and frustrations regarding the absence of such a Commission, which has hindered their professional growth and opportunities.

The decision to pull the FCTA out of the TSA system not only grants greater financial autonomy to the FCTA but also underscores the commitment to effective governance and the improvement of the nation’s capital. The establishment of the FCT Civil Service Commission is a welcome development that promises to address the long-standing career progression issues faced by civil servants in the Federal Capital Territory. These strategic measures represent a positive step toward enhancing the overall administration and well-being of the capital city.
