FCTA indigenous contractors welcome Wike, plead for payment

Local contractors to the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) have lauded the FCT minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike, for the impact he has made since he assumed office on August 21 this year.

 In particular, they noted his welfare policies for which they said the FCTA workforce is enamoured of the minister, adding that as contractors to the administration, they too are on the same frequency as the workers in appreciating his impact.

 However, the contractors pleaded with Wike to approve payment for their various completed jobs, some for more than a year now.

 Most of the contracts, it was gathered, are jobs of a couple of millions of naira, totalling about N2 billion for which over 200 processed files belonging to the contractors are presently lying in the treasury department awaiting payment, but largely unattended to.

 The said contracts cut across jobs executed in several FCTA mandate secretariats and involve supplies, renovation and others of such value.

 The group, Concerned FCTA Indigenous Contractors, in a letter dated 18 October, 2023, and titled ‘Non-payment of completed jobs at Treasury Department’, told the minister that their jobs do not require any variation.

 According to them, their files have been lying ‘fallow’ in the treasury department and Central Payment Office (CPO) for some time now even as non-payment has taken a toll on their individual family welfare.
