The committee also emphasised the importance of leveraging his experience and network to boost revenue generation for funding the FCT’s infrastructure development. Rep Muktar Betara stated this at the inaugural meeting of the committee in Abuja on Thursday.
He urged committee members to dedicate themselves to realising President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, and fulfilling the trust placed in them by FCT natives and residents. He said the committee’s oversight responsibilities encompassed various agencies and aspects related to the FCT administration and development.
Betara highlighted the need for increased revenue generation, stating that Abuja was losing revenue but added that the committee will support the minister. The chairman said this would ensure that he gets more revenue for the development of infrastructure in the FCT.
