Wike Introduces Monthly Sanitation In Abuja

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has said plans has been concluded on how to reintroduce monthly sanitation as part of strategies to keep the city clean.

Wike stated this in Abuja Monday, after a closed-door meeting with contractors handling different projects in the FCT.

He said he had briefed President Bola Tinubu on the idea that at least two Saturdays in a month would be declared for sanitation from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

He added that the move would enable companies supporting the FCT with logistics to go to market, and other public places to evacuate refuse.

He said for Abuja to be clean, everybody has to cooperate.

We must all make sacrifices. There is nothing like we are going to suffer. You also contribute to refuse.

“So, if you spare three hours on Saturday at home, to clear the refuse and bring them out for us to evacuate and dispose, then that is the little way you can help.

“We are appealing to residents to cooperate with us so we can achieve our goals,” he said.

On streetlights, the Minister revealed that there were some improvements saying: “We are not there yet, but I can assure you that everywhere in Abuja will be lit up.”

For those who have distorted the Abuja Master Plan, Wike said the issue would soon be addressed.
