“Go and meet the Coordinator of FCD, they will tell you how to meet up with me. It’s very key because, like I said, no sector will be left.
How did I know about this place? In one of our inspection period, right from where you have the T.Y.
” Danjuma Foundation, and I want to commend our elder states man, for taking the bullship to start the construction of that road from that side.
“And when I came, I said, these are citizens who mean well for our people. After all, he was not going to be the only person that will use that road. So I told the Executive Secretary, FCDA, we’ll take it over from there and then link up to Wuse with two bridges.

“I’m happy to the glory of God, we’re here today to flag it off and just like the Managing Director of the Levanti has assured, I’ll be on their neck day and night, we will have so many projects to showcase in the third year anniversary of Mr. President, and I believe that this is one of them.
“So, Mr. Managing Director and your team, you have a lot of work to do. Don’t bother about the rain, it will soon stop and then you have to start fully.
“We have said severally and we will continue to say, no development in any city without good network of roads. And when all the cities are linked with good network of roads, then you will talk about that city to becoming a modern city. Then you talk about the development in that city.
“Road infrastructure attracts investment. We have one of our investors from Dubai, who, of course, trying to build Abuja City Walk. If the infrastructures are not there, they won’t come.
But because they know and they saw the infrastructure revolution in Abuja, they said we are going to replicate the Dubai City Walk and we want to have Abuja City Walk. So, Mr. Investor, I thank you very much.
“We are going to start again of total rehabilitation of not less than 40 schools after this road infrastructure. That, of course, will add to not less than 70 schools that are ongoing. Almost 45 have been completed and well furnished.
“And then I said again, we will begin to look into the issue of health. I believe those who are in charge of health must sit up to know that time waits for nobody.
“If you don’t know how to be athletic to meet up, go and ask those who know how to meet up with the speed I work with. Go and meet the ES FCDA. Go and meet the Coordinator of FCD, they will tell you how to meet up with me. It’s very key because, like I said, no sector will be left.
“By the directive of Mr. President, every sector must be touched. And it is for those of you who are probably in charge that will kick start it and let us believe that you are serious.
“Each time the Executive Secretary of FCDA, he does not sleep. Day and night, his phones are not off. Coordinator FCD, his phones are not off. There is no implication of their phones being off.
If their phones are off, it means you are not prepared for the job. Your phones must be on because I may call you at any time. And that’s the way it is.
“Education, the same thing; when we were doing the bus terminals, the Mandate Secretary of Transport was looking for excuses to travel for medical. I said there is no medical.
“You finish your job before you go for medical. He said if he dies, I said if you die population is too high. So you better do your work.
So, if you know that you want your job, your own area, to be noticed by this country, by the administration, keep your phones on 24 hours.
“Director of security, we have built not less than 12 police stations, up till now, he has not come to tell me how many are ready. The day I go and find out, is the day you will go to the Institute of Policy Studies, so that you will allow another person to do the job.
“Director is not to wear “agbada”. It is not to wear black cap. The assignment is to see that you hand over the police stations so that we have improved security.
‘So, my dear brothers and sisters, it has not been easy. This flag off and commissioning will continue till almost the 20th of October.
And then, from November, we will start to commission some other projects which we think are very vital, which we think are very important to grow the economy of the FCT and improve the landscape of the FCT.
“I told you when you are doing your work, people may hate you. They may not like the job. All those who hate us are using the roads. All those who hate us will use the water. All those who hate us, they will use the street lights.
“It’s our opportunity to provide for them, so you don’t need to worry yourselves. Indeed, nobody hates us. It is just that they are looking for an opportunity to come closer to us.
‘And because we are very strict, the only way they can come closer to us is to blackmail us. Unfortunately, we don’t know the meaning of blackmail. There is no blackmail in our dictionary.
“The only thing we know in our dictionary is to work and work and work and work to the satisfaction of our people.
