INTRODUCTION
Only little portion
of government projects are executed by direct labour, while most of the
development projects are awarded to contractions.
Public structures
have been known to be abandoned in the cause of construction or left to
dilapidate after being practically completed.
Incidents of abandoned projects are rampant all over the country e.g. from
Enugu to ILorin, port Harcourt to sokoto and Lagos to Maidugwi. Projects of
high capital cost. Such as residential buildings, office buildings and even
road constructions.
1.1
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE FEDERAL CAPITAL TARRITORY VIZ – AVIZ FEDERAL
CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ABUJA (FCDA)
The federal capital territory Abuja was created in 1976 by Decree No6 of that
year which was established the federal capital development agency responsible
for the design, construction and administration of the territory.
The decree also vested ownership and control for all land in the territory in
the federal government of Nigeria. The territory which is located at the centre
of the country covers an areas of 8000sqkm.
It is therefore more than twice the land area of Lagos state (93535sq.km) about
two-thirds the size of Imo state (13032sq. km).
The federal capital territory itself is designed to cover an area of 256sq. Km
or 3% of the total land area of the territory and at full development the city
is expected to have a total population of 3.2 million.
In the FCT the duration of sunshine range from 6-8 hours per day in the south
and 8-10 hours per day in the North from January to April / may. There is
however a steep drop to a mean of about 4 hours per day in the month of July /
August largely due to increase in cloud cover it starts again in the month of
September.
Abuja, a virgin land with virtually no amenities of any sort before 1976 even
where the pioneer civil servants would stay became a test case. Therefore Civil
Servants had to stay in scattered level hotels in Suleja for residential
accommodation and a borrowed Niger State Housing Estate had to be used as the
Head Quarters of the FCDA.
The only road from Suleja to the Linther land of the territory was a colonial
narrow tarred road.
FCDA is a parastatals under the Ministry for the Federal Capital Territory
(MFCT) responsible for the physical development f the territory.
Under FCDA is the Development of Public Building and Engineering. The
development of Public Building is in charges of designing and supervising f
buildings while the Engineering Development, takes charge of road, dams and
Electrical Services and bridges.
Most projects are executed through contractors while little is done by direct
labour.
