President Muhammadu Buhari has fired the Chairman of the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service.
He has also approved the sacking of the Chairmen, Secondary Education
and Universal Basic Education Boards with immediate effect.
This was contained in a letter with reference no. SGF.19/S.81/T1/97 sent
to the FCT Permanent Secretary, John Chukwu, on Wednesday by the
Secretary to the Federal Government.
A statement by the FCT Deputy Director, Press, Mohammed Sule, on

to comply with the Federal Government directive on the dissolution of
the governing boards of parastatals, agencies, institutions and
government-owned companies.
According to the letter, “The Federal Government’s directive as
contained in Circular Ref. No. SGF.19/S.81/XIX/964 on the dissolution of
the Governing Boards of the Federal Government Parastatals, Agencies,
Institutions and Government-owned companies remains extant.”
It noted that the directive applied to all the boards of the Federal
Capital Territory parastatals, agencies, institutions and
government-owned companies.
“In view of this directive, the FCT Permanent Secretary has directed the
former Chairman of the FCT IRS to hand over all duties and
responsibilities of his office as well as government belongings in his
possession to the Director of Treasury, FCT, while the Chairmen of the
Secondary Education Board and Universal Basic Education Board should
hand over all duties and responsibilities of their offices as well as
government belongings in their possession to the Directors/Secretaries
of SEB and UBEB respectively,” the statement said.
The FCT Administration expressed its appreciation to the officials for
their contributions to the development of the Federal Capital Territory
and wished them success in their future endevours.
