Charles Elechi, who was appointed as Secretary, previously served two terms as Commissioner for Agriculture and Transport in Abia State and also held the position of Special Adviser to a former governor in the state in 2015. Several other secretaries were also inaugurated, each assigned to specific areas of the secretariat.

In his address, Wike remarked, “Today, we mark the beginning of a new chapter, one that demands dedication, diligence, and a steadfast commitment to service. It is my privilege to serve as FCT Minister and to work with you as we embark on a mission of rebuilding and developing the FCT into a world-class Capital Territory. This task has been entrusted to us by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and it comes at a time when our beloved capital city is in need of renewal.”
He further highlighted various challenges affecting the development of the FCT, including revenue generation, environmental sanitation, public health, infrastructure development, security, education, agriculture, and satellite town development.
