Wike Approves Confirmation of 1,659 FCTA Workers
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has approved the confirmation of 1,659 workers within the FCT Administration.

Out of these, 2,281 candidates participated in the examination, while a total of 224 officials were absent, raising suspicions of ghost workers. The confirmed workers had been employed as far back as 2016 to 2019.
