The House of Representatives Committee on Area Councils and Ancillary Matters has raised serious concerns regarding the engineering designs of several road intervention projects initiated by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
During an oversight visit to the 15-kilometer A2-Pai road and the 11-kilometer Yangoji-Sukuku road in the Kwali Area Council of the FCT, the Committee, led by Frederick Agbedi, voiced its dissatisfaction with the current designs of these roads, which are being executed by the Satellite Towns Development Department (STDD) under the emergency development interventions for Area Councils.
The committee emphasized the importance of having detailed project designs to assess the progress of construction effectively, stressing that without an extensive design, it is difficult to evaluate the extent of a contractor’s progress. He maintained that the observations will be taken back to the committee, and they will engage with the ministry and the department to ensure the people of the FCT receive quality services.
