He said the need for institutional re-positioning to sustain the programmes and projects of the government was paramount in the new dispensation.

“Institutional framework will be established and where it already exists, will be maintained as well as strengthened to enable such strides outlive the present and future crop of leadership of the FCT Administration,” he stated.
The also emphasised that he will reduce the discretional powers of the FCT Minister as in the case in the past and allow other heads in the Administration to add their own imput.

Bala Mohammed urged the Minister of State FCT, Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade (Rtd.) to be strict and hard on the Area Councils in terms of monitoring and supervision of their programmes and projects.
