Abdullahi Sabo, the chairman of the Kuje Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory, has sworn in a 27-member cabinet to oversee the political and administrative operations of his second term in office.
On Friday, Sabo inaugurated the cabinet in Kuje and urged them to offer outstanding services to the public, handle business promptly, and not misuse the privileges bestowed upon them.
He claimed that in order for them to perform well, they must don the uniform of the civil service and get familiar with its rules, financial guidelines, and other operational documentation.
“Your appointment is a result of the fact that the offices are fewer than the available politicians and technocrats in the council.
“To the newly sworn-in Council Secretary, Supervisory
Councilors and Senior Special Assistants, you should see your appointment as a privilege.
“You should know that you are not the best nor the most preferred amongst the party members as your nomination was on merit and good track records.
“Therefore, you should live up to expectations, because it is no longer going to be ”chop alone syndrome”.
“You should carry your people along as we shall not hesitate to remove anyone found wanting,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that six people were appointed as Supervisory Councilors and 21 were appointed as Senior Special Assistants to the chairman and a Council Secretary.
NAN also reports that the inauguration featured the presentation of awards to the punctual and hardworking staff of the Council.
