The president of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has warned the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council ,AMAC, Christopher Maikalangu, against naming of roads built with federal government funds in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

The warning came during the inauguration of newly completed roads in Gaduwa District, Abuja, as part of activities marking the third anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Akpabio cautioned the council chairman against naming federally funded roads without the necessary approval, stressing that such decisions must follow due process and receive official authorization.

“Senior officials of the FCT Administration, the chairmen of the area councils of the FCT particularly the one that has just been warned, we will not spend money from the federal government to construct road then you will name it after your mother.

“It’s important for you to note that he who pays the piper detects the tune, so if you wanted to name this road after just anybody you should have constructed it.

“It’s not when the federal government has finished that you would find anybody, one palm wine tapper in your village and name the road after the person, so minister thank you for warning on time,” he said.
