FCT: Civil Servants Don’t Like Me – Wike Gives Reason
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has explained why he is not popular among civil servants.
NEWSNGR reports that Wike made this known on Thursday during his monthly media chat in Abuja, stating that civil servants do not like him.
According to Wike, his decision to block all avenues for the fraudulent diversion of public funds has made many civil servants dislike him.
The former Governor of Rivers State disclosed that some of the funds that civil servants diverted have now been channelled into road construction.
He said, “We waste our resources on frivolities, you expect me to approve funds for you to go for conference in America on land administration, what’s that? Go to Lagos and Port Harcourt, study how their own works or did not work and make a comparison here.
“How do you encourage me to sign N20 million to travel to America for a conference of one week for land administration, I won’t do that.
“Before I came you had about 65 percent of the budget for recurrent expenditure. How would such society develop. I came onboard and said no, 70 percent is for capital expenditure while 30 percent is for recurrent expenditure.
“Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.
“And that’s why I can’t be popular among civil servants, if you ask anybody today, one Minister they won’t like is me. Why? Those money for conferences, I put the money together for roads.”
