FCT: Wike promises infrastructure in Wassa for relocation of Apo mechanics
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has pledged to facilitate the relocation of Apo mechanic traders and dealers to the Wassa district.
He made this known on Friday in Abuja while inaugurating the committee that will oversee the relocation of traders and dealers in Apo to their permanent site in Wassa district.
The committee, headed by the minister, consists of the Coordinator of the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council, Director of Development Control, Director of Land, and Director of Urban and Regional Planning as members. Others include Director of Survey and Director of Resettlement and Compensation.
He recalled how previous administrations had failed in their promise to relocate the traders and dealers occupying a section of the Outer Southern Expressway corridor to their permanent site in Wassa.
Wike, however, assured that President Bola Tinubu’s administration had promised to relocate the traders and dealers, adding that the administration had begun processes to fulfil the promise.
“As part of the process, on June 27, together with the leaders of Apo mechanics, we will all visit Wassa, to see the permanent site for the relocation.
