The Federal Executive Council on Monday directed the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Administration, to immediately commence the construction of 40 number judges quarters at Katampe District to provide accommodation for judges and justices.
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike disclosed this while briefing newsmen after the council meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“What it means is that out of these 40, FCT High Court, which is like the FCT Court, will have 20, the Federal High Court will have 10 and the Court of Appeal will have 10. And these will be completed in 15 months,” Wike said.
He explained that the decision is predicated on the premium President Tinubu’s administration attaches to members of the judiciary.
“Mr President wonders how judges and justices will be living in rented houses and hotel apartments. That is not safe for our judiciary; that is not convenient for them to do their work. And so, Mr President directed that the FCT, through the FCDA, should immediately construct 40 number judges and justices accommodation at Katampe District.”
According to Wike, all the access as well as arterial roads within the quarters will also be constructed.
