Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has banned the use of mobile phones by staff of the Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS) during official working hours.
The directive followed the circulation of a viral video showing some AGIS employees using their phones while attending to visitors, an incident that sparked public outrage over alleged inefficiency in the agency.
Wike, who made the announcement during an unscheduled visit to the AGIS office in Abuja on Tuesday, expressed dissatisfaction with what he described as “gross indiscipline and lack of professionalism.”
He stated that the use of mobile phones during office hours was affecting productivity and public service delivery, warning that any staff caught violating the new rule would face disciplinary action.
The minister also ordered a comprehensive staff performance audit across all FCT agencies to restore efficiency, transparency, and accountability in government offices.
