The establishment of the Federal Capital Territory Administration is one of the key elements of the Administrative reforms of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to reposition the FCT towards enhanced service delivery.

The reforms brought about significant changes in the administrative structure of the FCT. In line with this, Seven (7) new Mandate Secretariats were created. These are:

1.    Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat
2.    Area Council Services Secretariat
3.    Education Secretariat
4.    Health and Human Services Secretariat
5.    Legal Services Secretariat
6.    Social Development Secretariat
7.    Transportation Secretariat

The establishment of the Secretariats heralded the appointment of non-career civil servants into mainstream administration of the FCT. The idea was aimed at bringing governance closer to the people by limiting the administrative bottlenecks that hitherto slowed down developmental process of the FCT.
