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.
