This was announced in a recent circular released by the Office of the FCT Permanent Secretary, Dr. Babatope Ajakaiye.

Ajakaiye stated that the issues relating to the appointment and installation into traditional positions in the FCT have sometimes led to situations that are inimical to peaceful co-existence in some of these communities.

“It had become pertinent to emphasize the provision of the FCT Chiefs (Appointment & Deposition) Act, 2007, which states that “upon the death, resignation or deposition of any chief or traditional Ruler, of a kind referred in sub-section (1)of this section, the minister may approve as the successor to such office of a chief or traditional ruler as the case may be, by any person appointed in that behalf by the persons charged with the responsibility of appointing persons to the office of chief or traditional ruler in accordance with the provisions of any order made by the minister after consultation with the Department of Local Government Administration,” the circular stated.
