Projects : Ensure Timely Release Of FCT Budget – Reps

The House of Representatives has urged the Ministry of Finance and the Budget Office to ensure the timely release of FCT budgetary allocations and funds to ensure the successful completion of key road projects and other infrastructure within the FCT.

It also mandated the Committee on FCT to closely monitor the various infrastructural projects and ensure the removal of any obstacles to the completion of the ongoing projects.

These resolutions were made following the adoption of a motion titled “Need to Support the Various Roads and Infrastructural Projects in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja,” sponsored by a Member from Abia State, Chris Nwonta, at Plenary in Abuja.

Presenting the motion, Nwonta noted that various road initiatives underscored the commitment of the Government to infrastructural development as a vital component in advancing socio-economic well-being, creating employment, and combating insecurity.

He explained that the construction of quality roads would reduce the rate of accidents, ensure safety, promote an efficient transport network, and improve the economy of Abuja.

Adopting the motion, the House also commended the Minister of the FCT for his determination in overseeing the construction of various road infrastructures and successfully concluding previously neglected projects within a relatively brief time frame.
