The Minister who was represented by her Senior Special Assistant on Administration and Strategy, Dr. Abdullahi Isah Kauramata, noted that the heartbeat of success in every work place lies in the commitment and hard work of its employees.

The Minister urged staff not to relent in innovative thinking, and self development towards making themselves outstanding in the discharge of their duties.

“As we confer these awards, let us not only applaud the recipients but also reflect on the qualities that have set them apart – a tireless work ethic, innovative thinking, and a genuine passion for their roles.

“In recognizing excellence, we strengthen the foundation of our Administration. It is a testament to the high standards we set and the aspirations we collectively hold”.

In his remarks, the FCTA Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olusade Adesola, noted that in the past three years, management staff have made modest contributions to the administration of the FCT on staff development.

Adesola assured that the Abuja Rali Mass Transit would return to operation aimed at reducing the cost of transportation for Staff.

“Furthermore, arrangement is at top gear to return the AUMTCO to expanded scale of operations. Plan is also underway to deploy last mile vehicles to help check the challenges of commuting in places where the Mass Transit buses cannot go and thus provide alternative means of transportation to check the menace of “One Chance” he said.

He however, commended the FCT Minister and Minister of State, for keying into the staff reward scheme, stressing that since the inception of the merit award, the FCTA civil service has witnessed very significant positive developments.

The event featured presentation of gifts to the outgoing Permanent Secretary, Mr Olusade Adesola.
