The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) yesterday changed four agencies into departments.
This was contained in a statement yesterday by the Chief Press Secretary to the FCT Minister, Mr Muhammad Sule. According to the statement, the affected agencies are: Agency for Mass Education, Agency for Science and Technology, FCT Emergency Management Agency, and Satellite Towns Development Agency.
The statement noted that the change occurred because all four agencies lacked the required laws to back their operations.
It added that all the heads of the affected agencies would from now on be referred to as directors and those heading departments under the agencies would be known as Heads of Divisions. The change, it further stated, will continue until appropriate laws are enacted by the National Assembly to back up the establishments of the departments.
