The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has begun moves to make rural dwellers enjoy infrastructure in their respective localities.
Coordinator FCT Satellite Towns Development Department (STDD), Mr Obinna Ogwuegbu, gave the indication when he inspected some projects in the Area Councils.
A statement from the STDD’s Coordinator at the weekend, called on all contractors handling various projects to deliver quality job in line with the terms and condition.
He regretted that some residents block the drainages by dumping refuse in them, which affect free flow of water.
The Coordinator who noted that he will be going round the 6 area Councils to make sure that all contractors are complying with the matching order, added that all hands must be on deck in making sure that all the Satellite towns are kept clean with, or without public holiday.
He stated that, following the order, the six area Councils contractors on waste management have since swung into action at their various sites.
While frawning that the situation on waste Management is getting bad because of some people attitude, lifestyle, character and behaviour towards the environment, he called on the residents to stop dumping and littering of refuse around the roads side, there by blocking and menacing around the while areas knowing very well that the deity is not good for our health.
The Coordinator, while stressing that, it is the duty of the area Councils chairmen in cleaning and Managing wastes in all the satellite towns, since they are been paid to do it, hinted that the satellite towns department is only meant to do intervention when necessary but that is not happening.
He further explain that one of his mission is to maintain and retain the dignity of the satellite towns in terms of cleanliness and road usages, as the construction of roads are also ongoing in some of the satellite towns.
Mr Francis promised to do his best in repositioning the satellite town before the end his tenure to make sure that there is a change, by making the citizen partner with the Government in building and making the satellite towns clean up and digitazation .
He revealed that more resources will be deployed in areas of waste Management even though It will cost Government more money.
