The Executive Secretary of Federal Capital Development Authority, Mr. Richard Dauda has been summoned to appear before the House Committee on Public Petitions along with the Director, Development Control, Mr. Galadima Muktar.
Both are to explain why the development of a certain property, said to be objectionable is allowed to go on despite glaring signs of distorting the building codes of the Federal Capital Territory.
In a petition to the House calling for a swift action to halt the project, Samuel Ajayi, a private citizen claimed that allowing the building located in Gusape Cadastral zone to go on will rubbish all the planning that went into the making of the FCT.
Reacting to the petition, the Committee Chairman, Mike Etaba directed that both the Executive Secretary of FCDA and the Director of Development Control should urgently come and sort the matter out.
“At this point, it is a complaint until we establish the facts therein. Every Nigerian’s voice must be heard while all public officers must be made accountable. We shall ensure fair hearing for all the parties” he said
Meanwhile, the Committee has summoned the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission to appear in person before it, to explain the circumstances surrounding an abandoned contract for the construction of Okpai shoreline protection and landing jetty in Delta state.
This is sequel to a petition by Lynpat Solicitors against Orbit Marine and Energy Services Ltd for abandoning the project.
“NDDC holds the key to this case and the MD must come in person to clear the air. If he fails as he haz done before, we’ll take further actions against them “ Etaba warned.
