‘Nobody will suffer’ – Wike reintroduces monthly sanitation in Abuja

As part of strategies to keep Abuja city clean, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has announced that the ministry will reintroduce the monthly sanitation.

Wike stated this in Abuja on Monday, after a closed-door meeting with contractors handling different projects in the FCT.

He said that he had already briefed President Bola Tinubu on the idea that at least two Saturdays in a month would be declared for sanitation from 7a.m. to 10 a.m.

Wike said that for Abuja to be clean, everybody has to cooperate.

“We must all make sacrifices. There is nothing like we are going to suffer. You also contribute to refuse.

“So, if you spare three hours on a Saturday at home, to clear the refuse and bring them out for us to evacuate and dispose of, then that is the little way you can help.

“We are appealing to you (residents) to cooperate with us so we can achieve our goals,” he said.

“We are not there yet, but I can assure you that everywhere in Abuja will be lit up,” he said.
