The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has announced that a new waste management system will start on Monday, November 17, 2025, to ensure a cleaner and better-organized Abuja.
This was revealed after the FCT Executive Committee meeting chaired by the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Speaking to journalists, the Coordinator of the Abuja Municipal Management Council (AMMC), Chief Felix Amechi Obuah, said the committee approved new contractors for waste collection and management across the FCT.
He added that the approval also included buying treatment plants and maintaining supervisory utility vehicles.
Chief Obuah said he was confident that the new system would improve sanitation and make Abuja cleaner.
“Residents should expect a cleaner city,” he stated.
The Head of the Satellite Towns Development Department (STDD), Hon. Abdulkadir Zulkiflu, said the committee also approved funds for emergency waste evacuation from open dumps, waterways, and streams in the Dogon Gada community in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).
He confirmed that the sum of N111,913,176 was approved for the contract.
Also, the FCT Transportation Secretary, Hon. Chinedum Elechi, announced that funds had been approved for printing services for the Directorate of Road Transport Services.
