Don't Hold Up Contractors' Fund, Wike Warns Director
Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has cautioned directors in the administration against letting paperwork languish on their desks for weeks and promised not to let bureaucracy impede progress in the territory.
Wike declared that he would not permit anyone to impede the growth of rural communities in the nation's capital and that the bureaucracy should complete its due diligence within seven days of his approvals.
Wike said that any director who declines to take action on files that he has already approved is a saboteur during yesterday's flag-off of the 5-kilometer Naharati-River Ukya-Unguwan Hausawa Road in the territory's Abaji area council.
“I know that you have suffered quite a lot in the past and you want things to change immediately. I want to appeal to you to be patient. I will never associate myself with anything that will not work.
“As I tell you that things will turn around positively, be assured that they will turn around positively. The decisions taken by Mr President may not materialise immediately but just be calm. You will reap it.
“We had a meeting on Monday with the most senior directors and I was telling them that woe unto that director who will keep a file, that I have approved, for weeks. Woe unto you because you are a saboteur. Once I approve, do the needful. You can take a week to do due diligence.
“You do not need to take 20 days,” he said.
Wike declared that all of the rural roads being flagged off would be finished by the end of the year, despite the fact that President Bola Tinubu had given him the order to ensure the councils' equitable development.
Prior to this, Abdullahi Abubakar, the Council chairman, stated that the road will promote agricultural development and ease the flow of goods and services.
He demonstrated the support of his people for the administration by urging them to stay united in their resolve to see the project through to completion.
