Authority of the Nigerian Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has met with commanders of different security agencies and heads of other organizational components of both the Joint Taskforce and the Command and Control Secretariat to enforce sanitation in Abuja, the capital city.

It was gathered that the meeting became necessary in view of the need to scale up enforcement of laws and rules of engagement, while handling city clean-up and other lawless acts in the city.

 

 

Addressing the participants, the Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement, Ikharo Attah, said there was need to review the operational strategies and make the team more efficient in combating the ills that threaten Abuja’s overall development.

 

He noted that all the different components that make up the joint taskforce and the other squads must synergize to bring the desired results in the city.

 

Attah, while conveying the commendation of the Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, to the team for their efforts and commitment to duty, also reminded them of the ministerial directives that protection of human rights during enforcement remains non-negotiable.

“The Minister wants security and order maintained in all parts of the territory, but does not want the rights of law-abiding residents trampled upon,” he said.

In his remarks, the commander of security agencies under the Command and Control Unit, CSP Yusuf Bala, pledged the support of all the officers under his control to the reviewed operational strategies.

He also urged the FCT Minister to make more commitment towards the provision of operational equipment needed by the Taskforce.
Also, the Commander of the Taskforce, Solomon Adebayo, who noted that the
enforcement operations in the city have been challenging, also appealed to all relevant authorities to improve on the welfare of officers.
“Officers’ confidence can be boosted when their welfare is uppermost in government’s planning agenda,” said Adebayo.
