The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has officially banned the use of mobile phones by staff members of the Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) and the Department of Land Administration.
According to reports, the directive was issued following a viral video showing a heated confrontation between Wike and a naval officer, which drew massive attention and reactions across social media platforms.
The minister’s decision aims to improve discipline, enhance productivity, and ensure that government operations remain confidential and professional within AGIS offices.
