The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said that traders at the Apo Mechanic Village will have no choice but to relocate for the interests of the public.
Wike made the declaration during the inspection of the ongoing construction of the left-hand service carriageway of the OSEX from Ring Road 1 to Wasa Junction on Tuesday. The Apo Mechanic Village is located along the road corridor of the OSEX. The minister assured that the committee on the relocation of the traders was doing its job to relocate them to a permanent site in Wasa in the overriding interest of the public.
So, that is not going to be a problem. 'We have told them that when we get to that point, they have no choice but to leave for the interest of everybody. It’s not for anybody’s particular interest. It’s for the public. “It is the directive of Mr. President to see that all areas, not only the city but also in the satellite towns are all opened up with road infrastructure.
