Abuja residents have commended the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) for the rehabilitation of faulty streetlights in major link roads within Abuja.
The major roads are those linking Kubwa to Wuse, Berger junction to Area 1, Wuye, and roads through Garki, Jabi, and Asokoro. All the roads within the…The major roads are those linking Kubwa to Wuse, Berger junction to Area 1, Wuye, and roads through Garki, Jabi, and Asokoro. All the roads within the city centre whose streetlights have been in ruins now have their lamps replaced.
Commending the efforts, a resident, Caleb Idara, said: “This is highly commendable; darkness is evil and it propels petty crimes. At the beginning of 2021, my friends and I were robbed along the Jabi road because the whole place was dark. Repairing streetlights will thoroughly reduce the tendencies, we can now drive and not be apprehensive because we’re driving on a road with streetlights that are not fictional.
Veronica Okonta, a school teacher disagrees, saying the ongoing rehabilitation has a political undertone to it. She said: “This is a gimmick from the current administration that has performed badly in maintaining Abuja. They started fixing the streetlights because of the elections, it’s a poor attempt to take our minds off the government’s inability to deliver the dividend of democracy.
