FCTA approves N1.94bn for procurement of earth-moving machines

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has approved N1.94 billion for the procurement of earth-moving machinery for its Department of Development Control.

The Coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC) Chief Felix Obuah, disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday, after the FCT Executive Committee meeting chaired by FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike.

Obuah noted that, the procurement of the earth-moving equipment will ease the work of the department of development control under AMMC.

According to him “Today, we sought the approval for the procurement of some critical earth-moving machines and equipment for the Department of Development Control under AMMC.

“The procurement was in favour of Matrak Nigerian Ltd and was approved by the Council with a due period of three weeks.”

Obuah identified the machinery as SEM CAT Wheel Loader (SEM656), CAT Wheel Loader (950 GC), CAT Excavator (320 GX), CAT Excavator (323 GX) and CAT Dozer (D6 GC).

He explained that the equipment was not targeted for demolition, but for the smooth operation of the development control and AMMC.

“This will enable us to perfect our job for the interest of our city,” Obuah said.
