He declared that although the Federal Government is looking to increase funding for projects, the FCT Administration will also consider its internally generated revenue.

He also warned that there would be no room for excuses from contractors.

The Federal Government had approved billions of naira for the 36 states of the federation and the FCT to enable them to cushion the impact of the fuel subsidy removal on the people.
