The Media Aide said, “When you have your C of O you can do a lot of things. You can use it to borrow money to do your business and it will also encourage more people to come and pay for their C of O. The reason people are not paying before is because those who have paid have not gotten. But now you know that if you pay you can get.
Addressing journalists shortly after the meeting, the FCT Police Commissioner, Olatunji Disu, emphasized the severe consequences for those involved in vandalizing public infrastructure, stating that, “Everybody arrested for vandalizing public infrastructure will be charged to court. Not only will they be charged to court, they will be charged to court for economic sabotage.”
Addressing journalists shortly after inspecting ongoing repairs on some recently vandalized manhole covers along the B6 and B12 circle roads in the Central Business District of the FCC on Monday, January 6, 2024, the Executive Secretary, FCDA, Engr. Richard Yunana Dauda, said that such acts of vandalism damage public infrastructure and deprive citizens of essential services and resources.
As we enter 2025 with renewed hope and optimism, I extend my warmest wishes to you all, and pray that this new year brings peace, progress, and prosperity to every household within the FCT.
The Minister said, “We were at the OSEX, which CGC is carrying out. They have assured us that they will hand over that OSEX by May. I believe them. This is not the first time they have made a promise and fulfilled it, so I have no reason to doubt them. We then went to the Court of Appeal Division of Abuja. The contractor has restated that by September 2025, by the grace of God, they will still hand over.”
He said, “From the junction, you can see the roads surrounding the Judges Quarters – it’s something else entirely. The level of work carried out in the Judges Quarters is truly amazing. And look at this place; from the last time we came, we couldn’t even reach this point, and the company has now finished this major culvert. We are very happy with the progress.”
He said, “Normally criminals will like to take advantage and try to make it uncomfortable for our citizens. I believe we are prepared to provide security for us. You have done well, you have done good policing, but we will not fold our arms and say things are ok now.
The people came flamboyantly dressed, and various women groups identified by the brilliant colors of the George fabrics, which only came out on the most important of events, indicated the event’s significance.
He said adequate provision was made in the budget of the FCT by the National Assembly for the purchase of the 50 operational vehicles, adding that the FCTA had, earlier in the year, also distributed 50 operational vehicles to the security agencies, bringing the total number to 100.
The FCT Minister stated this while delivering a paper on judicial Independence at the 2024 annual Court of Appeal Justices conference held in Abuja on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. He said the judiciary, as an arm of government, must be free from interference, either by the Legislative and executive arms of government or other individuals, to guarantee its integrity and independence.
