The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Bala Mohammed, has said that his administration will continue to strive to complete all people-oriented projects in the territory.
The minister who made the promise at the weekend in Abuja, debunked rumours that the FCT administration plans to discontinue the community and social development initiative.
“The FCT administration under my watch will continue to support any programme or project that is in conformity with the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan because Mr President sent me here to represent him,” he said.
“The community and social development projects initiative is concerned with the empowerment of communities to develop, implement and monitor micro-social infrastructure projects including natural-resource management interventions as well as strengthening of the skills and capacity of grassroots tiers of government to support communities with a view to improving their standard of living,” he added.
He further stated that instead of abandoning the projects, his administration has sped up work on them, adding that the FCTA will sustain partnership with global financial institutions, towards bringing more development on the doorsteps of the far-flung rural dwellers in Abuja.
