Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Sen. Bala Mohammed, has challenged the incoming All Progressives Congress, APC, administration to probe his tenure, stressing that he has nothing to hide.

Muhammed, who disclosed this on Wednesday while interacting with State House correspondents in the Presidential Villa, noted that he was armed with documents and records to account for his actions in office having being in the saddle for five years.

He was reacting to statements credited to the APC accusing him of embarking on last-minute award of projects and recruitment despite the fact the government he is serving has less than a month before handing over.

To this, he said, “We are not afraid of being asked to account for our actions, because we are accountable.

“For someone, who has stayed in FCT for five years, definitely I must be accountable for all my actions, and I am ready with all the records and documents that we have with all modesty to justify my actions while I superintended over the place”.

The Minister said the APC was wrong to accuse him of panic recruitment when indeed the exercise was approved by the board of the FCDA.

He explained that all laid down procedures for recruitment were complied with in recruiting the workers.

Mohammed said the incoming government was however at liberty to sack the workers if it found out any irregularities with how they were employed after taking over on May 29.

His words, “The fact that we have lost election does not mean we should just abandon something at the point of conclusion.

“Of course, we will make sure that we are accountable for anything that we have done, and we are in compliance with the federal character principle and the template established.

“Certainly, we have learnt from other MDAs, where we have stampeded some Nigerians because of the test we have carried out under due diligence.

“This time around we want to ensure that we comply with all the requirements for due process in order to employ, we have not concluded them and I hope to conclude before we go,” he said.

The FCT Minister further noted that there was nothing shady about the contract for the installation of new traffic lights in some areas of the nation’s capital, wondering why issues should be raised on it.

He clarified that while the project was donated by Chinese government involving the National Planning Commission, the execution of the contract was not a hasty or last minute contract award or hurried execution of abandoned project being alleged.

While insisting that his administration had remained prudent and that the Jonathan administration had done extremely well for the development of the country, Mohammed urged the incoming government to maintain the traffic light project describing it as a good project that should be sustained.
