In order to ensure hitch-free execution of remedial measures to mitigate distortions of Abuja Master plan, the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has called on residents for their continuous support and cooperation.
Bello, also conveyed the appreciation of the FCT Administration to residents, for their understanding despite the discomforts they must have endured in the course of the remedial measures.
“We solicit your cooperation and support, as we continue the task of removing illegal structures and settlements within our city both for security purposes and maintaining the sanctity of the Abuja Masterplan.
“It must be understood that these corrective measures are absolutely essential if truly our city is to evolve into one of the most aesthetically pleasing and functional cities in the world.
“The presence of illegal settlements and shanties will only draw us further away from attaining this goal”, the Minister said in his recent message to residents of the FCT.
He continues:”Fellow residents, we are confronted daily with the unwholesome and unpatriotic activities of vandals who wantonly destroy or steal public infrastructure installed by government at great cost.
“Replacing or repairing these critical infrastructure cost a lot of money which otherwise would have been invested in other equally essential projects.
“You are therefore enjoined to treat critical public infrastructure as you would treat your personal property and help to protect all public assets located within your vicinity”.
