He said, “Transparency, efficiency, and accountability must become the cornerstones of our administration.
“As mandated secretaries, your role in this journey of transformation is pivotal. You are not only advisors but also leaders and implementers of our policies.
“You have a duty to translate our vision into tangible actions that will shape the future of the FCT.
“Our President has entrusted us with the monumental task of rebuilding and developing the FCT into a world-class city.
“To 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.
