The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has called on staff of the FCT Administration to play their roles as individuals and as a team for the overall success of the administration.
Malam Bello stated this yesterday while declaring open the maiden edition of the FCT Chapter of Joint Union Action Committee (JUAC) Week.
He emphasized that when staff do not do their jobs there is bound to be system failure.
He used an analogy of a ship with a captain and crew members to describe the relationship between the staff of the FCTA and its management saying each must play their parts to keep the ship afloat and prevent it from sinking.
“Organisations, including the FCTA, are like ships on the ocean where for a ship to set sail from one port to the other, requires tremendous amount of unity and cooperation between the captain and his crew.
“To be able to keep afloat, if every one, no matter how important or unimportant, no matter how big or how small, does not play his or her part, that ship will never be able to reach the port. And if this does not happen and certain things are not done well, the ship will sink. And when a ship sinks, everybody sinks. Even if there are survivors, they are going to survive in a very weak state,” he said.
While soliciting the continuous support of staff, he assured that he would do his best to ensure a better and more productive workforce for the FCTA.
In his welcome remarks, the Chairman of FCT JUAC, Oluwakorede Matilukore, promised the cooperation and support of staff for the success of his second stint in office as FCT Minister as he lauded him for the “achievements recorded between 2015 and the first half of 2019.”
