Tinubu appoints APC Senatorial aspirant in Wike-led FCTA

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi as the secretary for the women affairs secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

Her appointment was confirmed in a post shared by the management of the FCTA on Monday, October 16.

Meanwhile, the new appointee was a former senatorial aspirant who contested under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) during the 2023 general election.

The post shared by @OfficialFCTA on X (formerly Twitter) reads thus:

"His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, has approved the appointment of Mrs. Adedayo Benjamins-Laniyi as the Mandate Secretary for the newly created Women Affairs Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA)."

Tinubu pulls Wike-led FCTA out of Treasury Single Account

This came a few days after Tinubu pulled the FCTA out of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and approved the creation of the FCT Civil Service Commission to allow for staff career progression, as confirmed by Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

This is to effectively pave the way for the Nyesom Wike-led FCTA to utilize the territory's Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for the development of the nation's capital.
