Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, has issued a stern caution to directors within the FCT Administration regarding excessive bureaucracy that could impede the timely completion of road projects.

Wike delivered this warning during the commencement ceremony of a five-kilometer road construction project, linking Naharati, River Ukya, and Unguwan Hausawa communities in Abaji Area Council of the FCT on Tuesday.

The former governor of Rivers State specifically emphasized the importance of avoiding prolonged delays caused by directors holding onto files for extended periods.

He said, “Once I grant approvals, the bureaucracy should be able to do its due diligence within seven days and ensure the release of funds.

“We had a meeting on Monday with the most senior directors and I was telling them that woe unto that director who will keep a file that I have approved for weeks,” he added.

“Woe unto you because you are a saboteur. Once I approve, do the needful. You can take a week to do due diligence. You don’t need to take 20 days.”
