Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has made it clear that any contractor failing to meet the terms of their contract will be expelled from projects in the FCT.

Wike’s strong warning came yesterday during a site inspection at the Apo roundabout to Wassa road on Friday in Abuja.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the slow pace of work and urged all contractors to adhere strictly to their agreements.

“We have no tolerance for non-performing contractors. If a contractor does not deliver, they will be removed, without any sentiment involved,” he declared.

“Whether you are an indigenous or foreign contractor, it does not matter to us. Our only concern is the execution of the work.

“If you complete the work satisfactorily, we will continue to work with you. But if you fail, we will dismiss you and ensure you are held accountable,” he added.

While addressing the postponed completion date of the road, now set for May instead of the originally scheduled December-January timeframe, Wike said it was unacceptable. “This is very disappointing. I am not encouraged by this delay,” he stated.

The minister noted that despite CGC being a respected company that is behind the project, he was dissatisfied with its work progress.

“I went to inspect the site and did not see adequate equipment present when I came. I trust that they mobilized equipment today because I planned this visit,” he commented.

To expedite the project, Wike tasked the director of Engineering Services at the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), Engr. Richard Yunana, with extracting a firm commitment from the construction company regarding the new completion date.

He demanded a detailed work plan from CGC, emphasising the project’s significance for both the FCT administration and residents.

“This road is crucial for reducing traffic congestion and boosting economic activity in the area. It is vital for us to be out here, inspecting the work, rather than just sitting in the office reviewing reports,” he said.
