FCT: ‘Stop selling streets, do your job or be sacked’ – Wike warns AMAC Chair

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has warned the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, Christopher Maikalangu and the Mandate Secretary for Education, Dr Danlami Hayyo, to stop streets in the nation’s capital city or risk being sacked.

Wike gave the warning on Wednesday at the flag-off of engineering infrastructure for Guzape District (Cadastral Zone A09, Lots 1 and 2) and the AIT neighbourhood in Asokoro (Cadastral Zone A04).

The Minister lashed out at what he described as the “sale of street names” in Abuja by unscrupulous officials.

“You don’t just wake up because somebody has N2 million and then name a very important street after them. That is not possible.

“I have forgiven you till yesterday but from today, I won’t forgive such acts. If people have paid you money, better go and refund it.

“Streets must be named after those who have contributed meaningfully to the development of the city and the country. You cannot commercialize our heritage”, he warned.
