The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has threatened to revoke the contract of Arab Contractors over the delay in the handling the Kuje-Airport road junction project.
He issued the warning on Monday, while flagging off a 5 Kilometres rural road in the Kuje Area Council under the FCT Satellites Town Development Agency of the FCT Administration.
The minister warned Arab Contractors to take the construction work seriously or face revocation, noting the slow pace of work on the road showed flippancy on the part of the contractor.
He said the FCT Administration would not entertain any excuse for failure to deliver on the set time to handover the project.
He urged the grassroots to cooperate in stamping out insecurity, unemployment, poverty, hunger and other challenges confronting the residents of the federal capital while appreciating President Bola Tinubu’s support to change the face of the territory.
He assured them that as soon as the president returned to the country from France, the FCTA would send its statutory budget for the National Assembly approval.
In her message at the flag-off, the Minister of State for FCT, Dr Mariya Mahmoud, noted that the road construction, aimed at enhancing productivity and generating employment would help to build local community inclusiveness to unlock the grassroots potential.
A developer, Chief Patrick Akinboye Ojo, said the residents of Kuje had long awaited the project, which he said would impact tremendously on the community.
