FCT Plans Strict Monitoring Of Projects

The FCT Minister, Sen. Bala Mohammed, says his administration will ensure strict monitoring of projects in area councils.

The minister said this on Wednesday at his maiden meeting with directors in the FCTA and FCDA as well as parastatal agencies under his jurisdiction.

“I implore the FCT Minister of State, retired Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade, to be hard on the area councils in terms of monitoring their programmes and projects because area councils are lagging behind in terms of development.

“Abuja, at this time in history, will be built at the pace of the transformational agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan and any member of the top echelon of the administration unable to meet up will be shown the way out,’’ he said.

Mohammed also charged staff members to work as a team, saying each worker was a leader in the work force.

He stressed the need for institutional re-positioning to sustain government programmes and projects.

Mohammed further promised to create jobs for youths in the territory, adding that a new strategy to ease transportation in the city was underway.

In his remarks, Olubolade assured residents of the territory of quality service delivery, vowing that all municipal challenges would be overcome.
