The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Muhammad Musa Bello, has urged Abuja residence to hold government, community and traditional leaders, to accountable to promote good governance.
Bello, represented by the Minister of State for FCT, Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, gave the advice at a ceremony to mark the 59th Independence Anniversary of Nigeria, which held at the Old Parade Ground in Abuja, today.
He stressed the need for the residents to initiate community action, galvanise and mobilise the citizenry to actualise the true ideals of the FCT.
The minister also enjoined residents of the territory to insist that the right things were done and be committed to the building of Abuja as envisaged by its founding fathers.
He said that the development of the FCT had not been without challenges, many of which were associated with commitment of residents to the ideals of which the territory was founded.
