A group, Transparency and Accountability Network (TAN) has described the infrastructural development in the Federal Capital Territory under the leadership of Nyesom Wike as a facade to get the attention of Mr. President.
The group in a statement issued Friday by its National Coordinator, Michael Briggs said there are more to the recent projects commissioning by the presidency.
He expressed worry that while the presidency applauds the FCT Ministers for team work, the social sector has been abandoned on the altar of capital projects.
The group alleges that all the projects commissioned by the presidency were between 80 to 90 percent completed, while alleging that most of the payments fall short of financial regulations and accounting process of payments.
It said: “For the purpose of clarity, the aim of this press release is not to compel Mr. President to sanction the FCT Ministers but to address the issues factually for the whole world to know what is going on in the FCT Administration under Wike.
“Mr. President, it might interest you to know that all the projects inaugurated by you were over 90 percent completed except the provision of engineering infrastructure to Guzape district which was halted by litigation. But your capable minister made the world to believe that the previous administrations abandoned all the projects.
“That some of the mandate secretaries and permanent secretaries have kept quiet on issues such as this, is because they are afraid of public embarrassment and victimization by the minister. In fact, they are all convulsing in their various secretariat.”
