The FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, has directed the contractor executing a road project in Kwali Area Council to employ at least 100 locals.
Wike gave the directive on Tuesday, while inaugurating the construction of a 15-kilometre road from Abuja to Lokoja Expressway (A2) to Pai, in Kwali Area Council of the FCT.
The project was awarded to Zeberced Group and expected to be completed in six months.
The minister said that the contractor should employ some of the locals as workers of the company to enable them to feed their families.
