Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA),
Malam Muhammad Bello has ordered the closure of the Unity
Fountain.
The development, according to the FCTA, is temporarily for
maintenance and to also upgrade the facility between 60- 90
days.
A statement on Tuesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the
Minister, Anthony Ogunleye said: “The FCT Administration in its
resolve to provide adequate and modern recreational facilities
within the Federal Capital City (FCC) has viewed with concern the
state of several parks and gardens including the “Unity Fountain”
along Shehu Shagari Way, Maitama.
“It is against this background and the symbolic nature of the
“Unity Fountain” as a location symbolizing the oneness of the
Nigerian people, that the FCT Administration has deemed it
expedient to upgrade this facility.
“As a result, the “Unity Fountain will be closed for this
upgrade for between 60-90 days to allow for construction work which
will include the provision of a car park, landscaping and perimeter
fencing.
“The FCT Administration therefore solicits the support and
cooperation of members of the public in this regard with the
assurance that the “Unity Fountain” will be opened to the general
public on completion of this upgrade”.
