Mr Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has stated that the government has completed plans to restore monthly sanitation as part of city-cleaning measures.
Wike made the remarks on Monday in Abuja, following a closed-door meeting with contractors overseeing various projects in the FCT.
He stated that he had already briefed President Bola Tinubu on the notion of declaring at least two Saturdays a month for sanitation from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The FCT Minister said the action would allow enterprises that provide logistics to the FCT to travel to market, as well as other public areas to discharge garbage.
Wike noted that in order for Abuja to remain clean, everyone must work together.
According to him:
“We must all make sacrifices. There is nothing like we are going to suffer. You also contribute to refuse.
“So, if you spare three hours on a Saturday at home, to clear the refuse and bring them out for us to evacuate and dispose of, then that is the little way you can help.
“We are appealing to you (residents) to cooperate with us so we can achieve our goals.”
The minister stated that there have been some upgrades to streetlights.
“We are not there yet, but I can assure you that everywhere in Abuja will be lit up,” he added
Wike promised that those who had perverted the Abuja Master Plan would be dealt with immediately.
