FCT Minister hails construction of roadmap for donation of 24 traffic signs to FCTA
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Malam Muhammad Bello hailed the roadmap construction company on Wednesday when he ordered 24 street signs strategically located in different parts of Abuja, donated by the company, as part of its corporate social responsibility.
The minister who was represented at the event by FCTA Permanent Secretary Olusade Adesola said the world would be a better place for all if well-placed individuals and organizations embraced the culture of giving back to society from their wealth.
Bello said the roadmap construction company, which donated 24 road signs, not only showed its commitment to corporate social responsibility, but set a record that will inspire others.
He said: "I would therefore like to congratulate Roadmap Construction Ltd on this worthwhile project and urge more well-meaning organizations to emulate this noble gesture by giving back to society and helping to build the FCT of our collective dreams.
"Projects like this not only improve the aesthetics of the city's landscape, but also reduce the danger to life and property caused by accidents on our roads and highways due to insufficient traffic signage. ". He said.
Earlier in his remarks, Managing Director of Roadmap Construction Company, Mr. Julius Irumundomon, said that the idea of donating the road signs was born 14 years ago when he and his friend suffered tremendously to locate their desired destination in Maitama Abuja, due to a lack of legible signage.
Irumundomon noted that he was also driven to turn idea into action, by a strong sense of patriotism for his homeland.
According to him, he has always dreamed of replicating the good developments he has seen in other parts of the world, in his home country, Nigeria.
He said, "What made me do this was what my friend experienced 14 tears ago around Maitama, we were given a direction but we couldn't find the place.
"When I left there, I said that all the federal capitals you go to in the world have road signs directing you to where you are supposed to go. I brought the idea to my friend and told him I was going if the government, the FCT followed us.
"The Minister said if he could do it, put some on Wuye Bridge and Area 1 Bridge, but I ended up doing up to 24 flags because I thought that in doing just 4 would do nothing."
