ANOTHER WASTE: FEC Approves N1.2 Billion Sewage Facility For Abuja Fringe City

This is another over priced spending that is definately going to be unfinished and ill-worked

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the award of the contract for the construction of sewage facilities to connect Guzape District (Lots 1 and 2) to the trunk mains (stage 1- connection of Guzape Lot 1) in the FCT in favour of Messrs Golden Construction Nigeria Limited in the sum of N1.2 billion with a completion period of 16 months.

Guzape District is located around the fringes of the FCT and was not initially considered to be part of the Abuja City Master Plan.

However, in order to avoid abuses and uncoordinated development around the fringes of the city, the administration embarked on the Land Use and Detailed Site Development Plan of the city fringes to integrate them into overall city planning scheme.

The council noted that the project will provide employment opportunities for about 50 indigenous professionals, artisans, skilled and unskilled labour and that there is already the provision of N300 million from the FCT Internally Generated Revenue for the commencement of the project while adequate provisions have been provided in the FCT Funding Plan for the project.
