The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, warned officials of the Federal Capital Development Authority, FCDA, against switching off their phones amid the ongoing execution of projects in the nation’s capital.
The minister issued the warning during the flag-off of the construction of Transit Way, N2, connecting the Central Area to Wuse District with two bridges.
Wike warned that officials who switch off their phones are not prepared for their job.
Wike said: “The Executive Secretary of FCDA does not sleep, day and night his phone does not go off, the Coordinator of FCDA, his phones are not off, they know the implication of their phones being off.
“If their phones are off, it means that you are not prepared for the job.
“Their phones must be on because I may call you at any time, and that’s the way it is. In education, it’s the same thing.
“When we were doing the bus terminals the mandate Secretary of Transport was looking for excuses to travel to the US for medicals but I said no medicals.
“You will finish your job before going for medicals, he said if he dies and i said if he dies the population is too high, so you better do your work.
“So if you know that you want your job and your own area to be noticed by this country and administration, keep your phones on 24 hours.”
