The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has charged the contractor handling the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal office complex to expedite action on the project.
He gave the charge after inspecting the progress of work on the site at Dakibiyu in Jabi District of Abuja.
Wike who was visibly displeased with the pace of the work , told the contractor to hasten the work and meet the September deadline.
The minister further said he was afraid whether the contractor can deliver within the agreed time.
He said, “I am afraid, very afraid, but the contractor has said we will achieve it.
“What do you mean by enough funds? Because no funds can be enough. You promised me that this job will be completed by September and I told you that you will be paid latest by next week, and you said yes, by September you will handover. So, I don’t want to hear the grammar of this ‘enough’ funds”.
On the request for enough funding by the contractor, he said the word ‘enough’ was very ambiguous, stressing that he had promised to pay the contractor by next week.
Wike was accompanied by the Executive Secretary Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), Richard Dauda and other senior officers of the FCT Administration.
