Wike Blasts FCT Officials Over Unauthorized ICC Subcontract
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has issued a stern query over the unauthorized subcontracting of furnishing work at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja. During an inspection tour on Wednesday, Wike expressed dismay that the Abuja Investments Company Limited (AICL) had independently awarded the furniture installation to a separate contractor without seeking his approval.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Wike stated emphatically that the original contract was fully assigned to Julius Berger and should not have been divided among multiple firms. He voiced concern over the inconsistency in quality and accountability such fragmentation could introduce.
“I was shocked to learn that a different contractor was handling part of the furnishing. This is entirely unacceptable,” Wike said. “The entire project was awarded to Julius Berger. I cannot accept varying standards for the upper and lower levels of the facility.”
The Minister has summoned top officials including the Acting Executive Secretary of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), the Group Managing Director of AICL, and representatives from Julius Berger. He demanded a full explanation on who authorized the deviation from the approved project scope.
Wike also emphasized that he personally approved the budget for the project and questioned who would bear the financial burden of the new contractor’s involvement. He warned that if any wrongdoing is uncovered, strict disciplinary measures will be applied.
“I won’t tolerate any breach of procedure. No one is above the rules,” Wike declared. “If this decision was made without approval, those responsible will face the consequences. I will not hesitate to take action.”
Despite acknowledging the high standard of ongoing construction work, Wike remained firm in his stance against any irregularities, reiterating that transparency and accountability must remain central to project execution within the FCT.
