Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has reinstated Danlami Hayyo as Mandate Secretary for Education and Michael Ango as acting Executive Chairman of the FCT Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) months after their suspensions over alleged acts of indiscipline.

The officials were suspended in September amid investigations into operational lapses and misconduct within their agencies. Hayyo’s removal stemmed from complaints about mismanagement in education secretariat projects, while Ango’s removal stemmed from irregularities in revenue collection processes, prompting a broader FCTA audit.

Wike directed both officials to resume duties immediately, warning, “Acts of indiscipline will not be tolerated among officials of the FCTA.” He emphasised that the move followed the satisfactory resolutions from the probes and the need to restore efficiency in key sectors.

Olayinka stressed the reinstatements signal zero tolerance for future lapses, positioning the FCTA for stronger service delivery amid ongoing reforms.
