Wike is not the first southerner to occupy the post

100% correct

The last FCT minister was a disaster

LLSAINT:
The immediate past FCT Minister just like his principal, was a mess.
8years of stagnancy for a city capital

That guy was the worse FCT minister Abuja ever had

igwebuike01:
The president is the governor of Abuja. Not lame duck appointed minister. If anything is wrong in Abuja, the president is totally responsible

dey play

Taylor90:
If you like go put hope on Wike

He go use flyover scatter everywhere

Person wey build over 13 flyovers for PH with no single job creation

Ameachi remain the best ever governor rivers state has produce.....of what used is infrastrusture without job creation..

Zooposki:
Can anything good come out from a Nigerian man?🥴

And you be alien abi? The things that oozes out some of una mouth sef!

naijaboy756:
Wike should stop the movement of cows within the city else other people can start their own movement with pigs and dogs

Wike should enforce a drop in the house rents in Abuja

Lastly, Wike should tell all owners of the thousands of empty houses especially in estates to rent them out or be taken over by government. Looters hide their funds here

I think you need to create a thread with this comment, there’s a lot of sense in it

You people are too communist in your views and thoughts. One of the reasons Nigeria is a poor country - everyone wants the government to control everything. Now to the bold, there is no place where rent controls exist, and there were no corresponding rent increments. Rent control leads to higher rents, not lower. You cannot dictate how much landlords should let their houses for.

There are ways to effect a reduction in rents:
- Build more public housing. Through this, you get people who would have gone to the private sector to live in public housing.
- Improve the public transport system so that dwellers will see no reason to live in the city when public transit exists that is reliable, efficient, punctual, clean and affordable. Someone who pays almost a million to live Wuse will see reasons to move to the hinterlands if the public transport has those qualities I listed.
- Quicken the building approval process and reduce the associated fees. Since Wike has no control over cement prices, that is another to ensure buildings are quickly approved (according to standards) with low fees.

Honestly, providing basic amenities is not difficult as they seem. If I were Wike, I would appoint Singaporeans, Chinese and Japanese and give them unlimited power and funds to do whatever they like.

There is no sense in it. See my comment above. No city in the world has rent controls because it leads to higher rents. Landlords will decide not to build houses for rent since it is controlled. In return, the supply is limited, while demand is constant and increasing. At the end, the rents keep increasing.

Basic demand and supply.

BoldBrainz:


Lol. Millions is an exaggeration. But I do agree that there has to be a crackdown on the high cost of rents in the city and owners of empty estate homes have to be compelled to either give them out or lose their rights of ownership.

How do you intend to crackdown on rents especially on privately owned buildings?
Which part of the constitution says private home owners should lose the right to their properties because they refuse to lease them out?

In the post, it was stated that Wike is the first Southerner to occupy the post since democracy was ushered in 1999.

He said since 1979. Recheck the post. Some one from south was there between 81 and 84

Mr Wike becomes the first southern Nigerian to occupy that position since 1979. The only other Southerner to have occupied the position, Ajose Adeogun, did so between 1976 and 1979 when the new capital city was still a project on paper. Mr Adeogun supervised the project from Lagos, the former federal capital.

Seen. You are correct. The editor could have added the person during the '80s or say since 1999.

Wike as the new FCT minister should consider to link satellites towns and villages in neighbouring states with good roads. This will help decongest traffic and sanitized the fact city centres of slumps and shanties because with accessible roads in neighbouring towns, people can return to develop their plots of land left over the years due to lack of accessible roads.
I trust Wike will deliver on this. God bless
