The traditional ruler of Rubochi in Kuje Area Council, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Pada, has told officials of the FCT administration that the deplorable state of Nuku-Rubochi-Gwargwada road has become a nightmare to them.
Pada stated this when the new mandate secretary of the Area Councils Service Commission (ACSS), Adamu Abubakar Bappah, led other officials on a courtesy visit to his palace last Thursday.
He said the road, which was constructed over 25 years ago, was now in deplorable state and causing serious hardship to motorists in the area.
He said hoodlums sometimes took advantage of the condition of the road to rob travellers plying it.
The traditional ruler also lamented the deplorable state of his palace, which he said has been a security threat to him and his chiefdom, and called on the FCT administration to urgently intervene.
Also, the Agabe of Gwargwada, Alhaji Hussain Agabi Mam, who received the secretary and his team at his palace, complained about non-implementation of five percent of the councils monthly allocation for traditional institutions.
The secretary of ACSS, said he led the team on a familiarisation tour to Kuje chiefdom in order to interact with the stakeholders to ascertain their challenges so that the FCT administration would intervene.
He assured that he would work with relevant authorities, especially the Satellite Towns Development Department (STDD), to ensure they intervened on the deplorable state of Nuku-Rubochi- Gwargwada road.
City News reports that the council chairman, Galadima, later led the team to inspect some water projects at Atako village of the council.
