FCT Closes Down Cinema Hall

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration has ordered the immediate closure of the Social Development Secretariat Cinema Hall over poor accountability by the management of the complex.
The FCT Permanent Secretary, Dr. Babatope Ajakaiye, who gave the order when he paid an unscheduled visit to the complex on Monday said that the Administration would audit the revenue accruable from the cinema and all the shops administered by the Secretariat in the last two years.
He said that the Administration would also look into the lease agreements for all the shops with a view to ascertaining that all monies collected were duly paid into government coffers.
”We cannot account for the revenue coming from this complex. The cinema hall that is said to have been leased-out is now closed down with immediate effect. We are going to check the agreement that was signed very thoroughly.”
“As for the shops, we are not going to close them down, but we want to see the agreements of those that are renting the shops and we are going to audit what has been paid and who has been collecting the money.” [myad]
