Minister of the FCT, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has commended Sen. Abubakar Kyari for his commitment to the development of the FCT while he served as Chairman, Senate Committee on FCT.
Bello stated this when he led a delegation of top management officials of the FCT Administration to the APC National Secretariat, Abuja, on a thank-you and congratulatory visit to Sen. Kyari, who recently assumed office as the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Minister in a statement from FCTA’s Chief Press Secretary, Anthony Ogunleye said: “Basically, we have come here as a team to convey to you our deep and sincere appreciation for the way you conducted the affairs of the FCT Senate Committee and the way you interfaced very closely with myself, the Hon. Minister of State, the Permanent Secretary, the Chief of Staff, and all the senior management staff.
“In all our official encounters with you, you did it with dedication to duty and passion for the development of the FCT.
“We are particularly delighted with this (elevation), because quite frankly, we know you are the right person for the job at the right time.
“We want to use this opportunity to congratulate you for your well-deserved elevation to the post of Deputy National Chairman (North) of the APC”.
He continued: “The gold fish has no hiding place. For those of us who have known you for quite some time, you are well positioned to take this responsibility. You have served as a public officer in various capacities -as Commissioner and Chief of Staff, and you have done very well also as a politician.
“You have served your state diligently, served the Senate diligently and now, by the grace of God, you are going to serve members of the party in the 19 States of the North, and by extension, the nation at large”.
Responding, Sen. Kyari expressed gratitude to God, and revealed that he left the Senate with mixed feelings because it was a time the Senate Committee on the FCT had laid down measures to bring about a lot of positive changes in the FCT.
He hailed the Bello-led FCT Administration for completing existing infrastructure and laying foundations for new ones. For instance, he said, Abuja’s Medical City, when completed, would be comparable with that of Dubai Medical City.
He also listed the Greater Abuja Water Project and the Karshi Water Project as some of the other legacy projects under the current FCT Administration.
