The FCTA Ministerial SERVICOM Unit was established in 2005 following a directive to all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) including the FCT Administration to establish a SERVICOM Unit by the then Secretary to the Federal Government of the Federation.

SERVICOM is an acronym for Service Compact with All Nigerians. It was established in 2004 as the outcome of a Three-day Special Presidential Retreat on Service Delivery with the President, Ministers, Special Advisers, Presidential Aides and Chief Executives of major Extra-ministerial Departments and Parastatals. It is conceived by the Federal Government of Nigeria as an initiative to promote effective and efficient service delivery in MDAs to ensure customer satisfaction and to manage the performance-expectation gap between Government and citizens as well as other members of the public, on issues of service delivery.

SERVICOM is meant to ensure that the public (service takers) understand their rights to public services, the service standards as contained in the MDA’s Service Charter, what they should expect and how to demand for that service or speak up where it is deficient or lacking.
Structure of the Unit
The Unit is situated under the Office of the Permanent Secretary and is headed by a Nodal Officer. There is also a network of Focal Officers in the various Secretariats, Departments and Agencies of the FCT Administration.
