Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Barr Nyesom Wike, has warned Arab Contractors handling the Kuje-Airport road junction to take the construction work seriously or face revocation.
The minister gave the warning, Monday in Kuje, while flagging off a 5km rural road in Kuje area council under the FCT Satellites Town Development Agency, noting that the slow pace of work on the road showed unseriousness on the part of the contractor.
The minster also warned the company handling the construction of the five km road to work within the specified time, warning that his administration would not entertain any excuse for failure to deliver on the set time to handover the projects.
The minister while informing the public that his administration was not only concentrating on roads construction, noted that in two weeks, FCT Administration under his watch would flag off total rehabilitation of over 40 school classrooms as well as hospitals and completion of abandoned projects that littered the federal capital city.
He, however, called for the cooperation of the grassroots in rooting out insecurity, underdevelopment, unemployment, poverty, hunger and other challenges facing the residents of the nation’s capital.
Wike maintained that as soon as Mr. President returns to the country, his administration would send its statutory budget for the National Assembly’s approval.
The minister also thanked the National Assembly for the support received so far from the federal legislators through their committees on FCT matters.
On her part, the Minister of State for FCT, Mariya Mahmoud, noted that the road aimed at enhancing productivity and employment generation, would also help to build local community’s inclusiveness in order to unlock the grassroots’ potentials.
Mahmoud submitted that the road project is a testament of the Tinubu-led administration towards improving rural infrastructure in satellite towns in the area councils.
