The new appointees of the FCT Administration have been asked to work assiduously towards achieving an orderly and smooth running capital city.
Specifically, the FCT Minister Mallam Muhammad Bello, challenged the Transportation Secretary, Abdullahi Adamu Candido, and his Senior Special Assistant on Special Duty, Farida Suleiman, to work towards resolving identified traffic challenges in the territory.
Bello, who gave the charge during the swearing in of the newly appointed Secretary of Transportation and Senior Special Assistant, insisted that all the traffic challenges bedeviling the Federal Capital City must be squarely addressed by the new transport secretary.
He identified some of the traffic challenges such as one chance, indiscriminate parking, and unruly and reckless driving.
Others include commercial motorcycle operators, unpainted taxies, as well as willful violation of traffic rules and regulations by motorist in the territory.
Bello, thus, urged them to bring their wealth of experiences to bear and contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the city.
The minister also commended the efforts of the city managers for working assiduously to contend the flood that ravaged other states in the federation, saying that in as much as the nation witnessed heavy downpour, this season, Abuja has not been affected with any incidences of flood this year.
He, however, asked them to redouble their efforts to sustain this achievement; warning that activities of miscreants, who continually deface the cities by removing manhole covers and other road infrastructures must be tackled frontally.
