Contractors working in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have made a desperate appeal to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in a N5.2 billion contract payment dispute with Minister Wike. The contractors claim they are facing severe financial difficulties due to the non-payment of their contracts.
According to reports, the contractors have sent a “save our soul” message to President Tinubu, urging him to use his office to resolve the dispute and ensure they receive payment for their work. The contractors argue that the delay in payment has resulted in significant hardship for them and their employees.
The dispute centers around contracts awarded by the FCT administration, which Minister Wike’s ministry has allegedly refused to pay. The contractors claim they have completed their work but have yet to receive payment, despite repeated appeals to the minister.
The contractors are seeking President Tinubu’s intervention to:
– Resolve the payment dispute: Ensure that the contractors receive payment for their completed work.
– Investigate the delay: Look into the reasons behind the delay in payment and hold those responsible accountable.
– Prevent future disputes: Establish a clear payment process to prevent similar disputes from arising in the future.
The contractors’ appeal to President Tinubu highlights the need for urgent action to address the payment dispute and prevent further hardship.
