FCT cancels appointment of district heads
MAY 2, 2013
Federal Capital Territory Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed
The Federal Capital Territory Administration has ordered the suspension of the appointment of 15 district heads by Abaji Area Council.
The Minister of State for FCT, Olajumoke Akinjide, in a letter to the Executive Chairman of Abaji Area Council, Yahaya Mohammed, on Wednesday, stated that the district heads were created without recourse for the approval of the FCT Administration.
The minister directed the Abaji Area Council chairman to suspend forthwith the appointment of the district heads until further notice.
The letter read,“The FCT Administration has also recognised the separation of functions between the Area Councils and the state (in this instance, the FCT Administration) on the creation of district heads and community leaders, vesting such appointments within the jurisdiction of the area council as enshrined in their bye laws.
“However, in all matters of appointment of district/community heads, the FCT Administration’s approval must be sought before such appointments are made by any Area Council.”
She advised the Abaji community and leaders to remain law abiding and peaceful until the appropriate procedure is adopted on the matter.
