Abuja, Sept. 28, 2016 (NAN) The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has directed that henceforth, all construction sites must have Project Information Board. displaying detailed information on projects.
The FCTA Permanent Secretary, Dr. Babatope Ajakaiye gave the directive at a meeting with Directors of FCT Development Control Department on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the directive was aimed at ensuring that construction activities in the FCT met international standard.
Ajakaiye expressed optimism that enforcement of the construction information board would help the FCT administration to eliminate quackery in the construction industry within the city.
“This will also improve the FCT database on major project sponsors and financiers in the territory and reduce cases of unapproved development.
“This new policy would also reduce cases of building collapse, corrupt practices and indolence in the entire building and construction industry.”
He added that the construction Project Information Board was expected to be erected on every site before the commencement of actual project.
He further added that the board should contain such information as title and nature of the project in terms of height, composition and services.
The board, he added, should also contain financiers and sponsors of projects, development permit number and date as well as names and addresses of relevant consultants. (NAN)
