He, thus, advised that embarking
Adesola explained that the present leadership of the FCT Administration is workers’ friendly and places high priority on the welfare and the well-being of workers, as such, will not do anything that could change that robust policy.

The Permanent Secretary, pointed out that the implementation of a salary structure code named Research and Allied Institutions could have long term implication for the careers of the officers, adding that this informed the overture to the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission (NSIWC)for a fit-for-purpose salary structure for the AEPB.
