There is nothing like we are going to suffer. You also contribute to refuse. So, if you spare three hours on a Saturday at home, to clear the refuse and bring them out for us to evacuate and dispose, then that is the little way you can help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are appealing to you (residents) to cooperate with us so we can achieve our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On streetlights, the minister said there has been some improvements, \u201cWe are not there yet, but I can assure you that everywhere in Abuja will be lit up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For those who have distorted the Abuja Master Plan, the minister said that the issue would soon be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Federal Capital Territory Administration was working out which areas the parks and the greens were supposed to be and those that were built on.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that the government would look into those who refused to develop their plots for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Wike said that the President Tinubu-led administration would not continue to allow undeveloped land across the city where criminals were taking refuge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can you have empty land in the city and allow people to build shanties on them because you did not develop them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome properties were built for 20 years but not completed. Go and see what is happening there, criminals have taken over the place and as a serious government, we will not allow that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make Abuja a safe environment, but we can\u2019t do it alone; we require the support of every stakeholder,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n<p>He also pledged that attention would be given to satellite towns beginning with a visit to the areas to determine the needs and decide on what can be done to improve their facilities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that there was no funding to intervene in all the satellite towns at the same time but one at a time subject to the availability of funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unfortunate that contracts were awarded in virtually all the satellite towns but where is the funding? The finding is not there,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that what was approved for FCT in the 2022 national budget was N15 billion for \u201cnot less than a trillion naira worth of contracts\u201d, stressing the need for the ministry to prioritise its spending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sarah NEGEDU The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, is considering reintroducing the monthly sanitation exercise in the FCT as part of strategies to keep the city clean.
