We will give attention to development of satellite towns ā€“ FCT Minister, Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, said that the FCT Administration would give due attention to the development of satellite towns.
Wike stated this on Tuesday in Abuja at the inauguration of Mandate Secretaries for the FCT Administration.
He said that the prosperity and well-being of the residents extend beyond the city centre, stressing the need to ensure that all areas of the FCT experience progress and development.
The Mandate Secretaries inaugurated are Mr Bitrus Garki, Secretary of the Area Council Services Secretariat; Mr Lawan Geidam, Secretary, the Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat; and Mr Danlami Ihayyo, Secretary of the Education Secretariat.
Others are Adedolapo Fasawe, Secretary of Health and Environment Services Secretariat, Mr Salman Dako, Secretary of Legal Services Secretariat; Mr Chinedum Elechi, Secretary of Economic Planning, Revenue Generation and Public Private Partnership.
Mr Uboku Nyah was also inaugurated as Secretary of the Transportation Secretariat.
Wike stressed the need for them to address issues affecting the delivery of services in FCT Administration, particularly the procurement process.
He said, ā€œTransparency, efficiency, and accountability must become the cornerstones of our administration.
ā€œAs mandated secretaries, your role in this journey of transformation is pivotal. You are not only advisors but also leaders and implementers of our policies.
ā€œYou have a duty to translate our vision into tangible actions that will shape the future of the FCT.
ā€œOur President has entrusted us with the monumental task of rebuilding and developing the FCT into a world-class city.
ā€œTo achieve this, we must address several key areas that are essential for the progress of our city and the well-being of our residents.
He added that part of the mission includes the enhancement of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), through innovative ways to raise the needed funds to support the development agenda.
This, according to him, is crucial to financing ambitious projects and initiatives.
The minister identified public transportation as a major challenge that must be addressed comprehensively.
According to him, no modern city can function effectively and efficiently without a reliable and comprehensive public transportation system.
