Streetlight Upgrade Approved
The FCT Executive Committee has also approved a contract for upgrading streetlights on Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway (Ring Road I).
FCDA Acting Executive Secretary Richard Dauda explained that the project was among seven approved memos submitted by the FCDA for consideration.
“The streetlights have been there for close to 15 years now,” Dauda said. “The project was completed between 2005 and 2006, and the lights have become obsolete and no longer bright enough to light the road.”
He emphasized that the upgrade was necessary due to significant advancements in street lighting technology over the past two decades.
