Mamman Vatsa was not the Fct minister in 1980. He assumed the position in 1984 when Buhari toppled the administration of shehu shagari.

Between October 1979 - December 31st 1983, the Fct ministry was headed by the following persons:
John Kadiya (Plateau state) october 1979 - march 1982.
Iro Dan Musa (katsina) march 1982 - October 1983
Haliru Dantoro (Niger state) October 1983 - December 31st 1983.

First time we had a Southerner and the North dey vex and they want to remove him. That's not even bad, the worst thing is that some irresponsible Southerners are also pushing this agenda because they hate Wike for supporting Tinubu. Terrible people

Wike attracted opprobrium to himself,he acts like an emperor but this is democracy however nobody is asking for his removal now,I only want him to leave with Tinubu in 2027.
But if Tinubu decides to sack him,there are so many responsible southerners out there.
Dont forget that he Wike has continuously stepped on toes and has always acted against the wishes of the masses.
The list is endless,the blatant rigging of the presidential elections in Rivers,the obnoxious state of emergency in Rivers state,the indiscriminate demolishing of houses and reacquisition of such properties by FCDA as directed by the emperor,the mercenary contract of killing PDP and making sure that we dont have viable opposition(thankGod for the obidient movement),the list goes on and on.

actually the first minister of the FCt was a southerner. Ajose Adeogun. Although at that time, the FCT only existed in concept and planning stages.

Re: List Of Former Ministers of the FCT Since 1980. "Photo" by Oscarchims: 9:09pm On Nov 17, 2025
The most outstanding amongst them is Chief Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike... He's the game changer, reducing ethnic influence in the fct

who regional profile help... that's Y u people keeping pushing incompetence on us.


I am a Southerner from Delta State nd i based in Abuja, bt i would rather have a fulani man in fct than Wike, if the Fulani man can produce results instead of stealing lands and inflating road project costs by 3 just to embezzle
Re: List Of Former Ministers of the FCT Since 1980. "Photo" by donproject2(m): 9:09pm On Nov 17, 2025
But, let's be honest, Wike is trying in terms of infrastructure in Abuja.
Re: List Of Former Ministers of the FCT Since 1980. "Photo" by ChiefOloye(m):
This list is not correct/complete. Where is Major-General Mamman Kontagora. He was the FCT Minister in 1999, when I wrote my SSCE in GSS, Jiwa. He visited the school during the period. So I can't forget his name. The most popular FCT Ministers on my list are: Jeremiah Oseni, Major-General Mamman Kontagora, Nasir El Rufai and Nyonsome Wike, in no particular order.
Re: List Of Former Ministers of the FCT Since 1980. "Photo" by bewisemasses: 9:10pm On Nov 17, 2025
And Wike remains d most controversial.
And most popular alongside the El Rufai
Though to be honest Wike typifies d average Nigerian and what we desire to do in our secret dreams if power is given us. Go top govt offices and see people with small position oppress those in need of smthng from them. It's in our gene, in our DNA and it's bad.

What's this one saying, how old are you, for how long have you been in Abuja, and how well do you understand Nigeria?
Re: List Of Former Ministers of the FCT Since 1980. "Photo" by SixSeven: 9:12pm On Nov 17, 2025
If there is anything to learn from this, it is that

TIME IS TRANSITIONAL or time is in transit. What is shacking you today is someone's yesterday and what you are jealous of today is someone's tomorrow. We are only here for a short time, so do not get carried away by this life. When was FCT itself created? Imagine 45 years ago, there was no office for the Minister. Things change.

Do not let the temptation of your current position fuuuuul you into thinking you're a God. El Rufai was a Governor of Abuja and Kaduna. He's resting now. There's nothing new under the sky fellow human beings.

If there's anything to learn from this, it is that Nairaland modz don't care about sources of posts, they just push things to our faces. Thank you. It's your time for now.

Wike remains the best FCT minister. Truth be told.
Re: List Of Former Ministers of the FCT Since 1980. "Photo" by safarifarms(m): 9:14pm On Nov 17, 2025
El Rufai and Bala Mohammed were the only ones I was conscious of before Wike.
