FCT to hold stakeholders conference on Abuja master plan
In view of the urgent need for the review of the already distorted Abuja master plan, the Administration has braced to address critical issues arising from the implementation and abuse of the FCT master plan.
Consequently, a stakeholder conference on the theme: “Repositioning Abuja for the Development of a Sustainable City,” is planned to hold within the first half of this year.
Similarly, a charge has been given to the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC) and other concerned organs of the Administration to implement the report of the Committee set to look into the problem of uncompleted and abandoned buildings in the FCT.
These decisions were part of the resolutions of the FCT Exco meeting held on Thursday.
