The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) through the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council has expressed disappointment at contractors handling streetlight projects in the nation’s capital city over their failure to keep to the terms of the contract.
The FCTA has therefore resolved it will not renew any contractual relationship with any defaulting company.
The coordinator of AMMC, Felix Obuah, who gave the warning in Abuja while briefing journalists on the issues affecting Abuja’s streetlights and the continued darkness in almost all the districts of the capital city, also vowed that the FCTA will never to pay any contractor for causing perpetual darkness in Abuja.
Obuah lamented that FCT Administration considered some companies, gave them contracts for the maintenance and security of the streetlights, but abandoned the terms of the contract.
The AMMC coordinator, who expressed concern over the non-functional streetlights in Abuja, said that the Administration will never consider defaulting companies for any job, especially those who have contributed to the pervading darkness on Abuja’s streets, due to incompetence.
