The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, was furious Wednesday after finding out that the contract for the provision of furniture at the International Conference Centre, (ICC) was given out to a different contractor rather than Julius Berger Construction Company, which is originally handling the renovation work at the centre.

The minister, who inspected the project on Wednesday, said “I have invited Julius Berger, I have invited the acting Executive Secretary of the FCDA and the MD of the Abuja Investment Company Limited to know who did that, and if anybody is found culpable, of course, I must have to apply the big stick.

“You’d see that we were at the International Conference Centre, the work is going on as expected. The only problem which we identified this afternoon has to do with the furniture that will be in the conference hall. I was surprised to hear that there is a different contractor for that, which is unacceptable to us.

“The job was given to Julius Berger entirely. I cannot have different qualities. We cannot say that the floor up is furnished by Julius Berger and down is furnished by another company. It is not acceptable to me.”
