Authorities of the Federal Capital Territory Administration have sealed off the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing located at Mabushi in Abuja, Daily Post reports.
The seal was over their refusal to offset a N10 billion debt. The debt is for waste management owed to Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB).
Director of the board, Osilama Briamah, said it provided waste management and other environmental obligations to their service providers and they refused to pay.
He said: “We try to negotiate to have a better way to achieve results but there was no positive response, we have given them payment plan but many of them refused to take this opportunity serious, the board then resort to legal means to recover the debts. The board got court orders to seal the premises.”
