FCT Contractors Cry Out Over Alleged ₦5.2 Billion Unpaid Contracts, Petition Wike
A group of contractors in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has reportedly petitioned the leadership of the ruling APC, urging intervention over an alleged ₦5.2 billion contract debt they claim is owed by the FCT Administration.
The contractors alleged that despite executing various projects, payments for completed contracts have remained outstanding, creating financial hardship for businesses and workers involved in the projects.
In their petition, the contractors called on the ruling party and relevant government authorities to facilitate the settlement of the alleged debt, arguing that prolonged delays have negatively affected operations and livelihoods.
The development is expected to spark fresh discussions on government contract payments, accountability, and the welfare of contractors engaged in public projects.
As of the time of this report, officials of the FCT Administration have not publicly responded to the allegations.
Observers say the outcome of the petition could have implications for contractors, project execution, and confidence in government procurement processes.
