The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has charged the Mandate Secretary, Transportation Secretariat, Uboku Tom Nyah, to resuscitate the Abuja metro for the president to have a ride on, warning that his job was on line if he failed to meet the target and revive the Abuja Urban Mass Transit Buses.
The Minister gave this directive at the swearing in ceremony of FCT Mandate Secretaries, whose duties are akin to that of Commissioners in states.
The Minister at the occasion revealed that the Legal Team of the FCT, connived in the award of N800M garnishee order against the FCT, but the Order was recently set aside.
Wike, a lawyer and member Body of Benchers, avers that, “”’must also address the recent garnishee order to the sum over $800 million, which was a particularly embarrassing incident. I am determined to get to the bottom of this matter and ensure that such situations do not recur. Transparency and accountability will be hallmarks of our administration.
“The garnishee order was awarded recently and set aside by the Appeal Court. But it was in collusion with the legal department in FCTA. So, we are happy we have a General Counsel that is tested. So many things – land racketeers conniving with those going to court against the interest of FCTA. But we shall not accept that”
