...EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE IN DECEMBER COMPLETION DATE

1. Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, carried out inspection visits to the construction sites of ongoing road projects in Bwari and Kwali Area Councils of the FCT.

2. The projects inspected by the Minister include the rehabilitation of the 5-kilometer Dutse /Usuma Dam road, the upgrading of the War College/Army Checkpoint and other ancillary roads within the Bwari Area Council, as well as the reconstruction of the 25-kilometer Kwaita/Yebu road and the 11-kilometer Yangoji-Sukuku-Ebo road in the Kwali Area Council.

3. Addressing journalists after the inspection exercise, the Minister expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work on the ongoing road projects and confidence that the contractors would complete them by December 2024 as scheduled. He also assured of adequate funding to ensure timely completion.

4. Noting that the road projects were located primarily in rural communities of the FCT, the Minister said their completion would boost agricultural activities and enhance food security in the nation's capital.


5. The FCT Minister said, “What amazes me is the length of the roads, particularly as they will positively impact these communities.

6. “When we went to Kwaita, you can see how long the road is, and we are now in Yangoji-Sukuku. I can’t believe what I’m seeing. We thank God that the Renewed Hope Agenda is alive and working.

7. “On the performance of the contractors, you know we had heavy rains this year and we gave them December to complete these projects. You can see the level of work they have done and the quality of the jobs which are in rural areas.

8. “I’m very much impressed with all the contractors. From Dutse, where the SCC is working, we got to Ushafa in Bwari; then we went to Kwaita and Yangoji/Sukuku in Kwali.

9. “I will do everything to ensure that funding is not a problem for them. When you see committed contractors, you, on your own part, will also carry out your obligation by ensuring that they are funded to complete these roads and make the people happy”.

10. “I’m sure you can see the large expanse of land for farming and if the government can capitalize on this, we won’t be talking about food security. So, I’m very impressed”.

Why must it be foreign contractors??

Emeskhalifa:
Either you do not reside in Abuja, or you are allowing your personal grudges to take over your sense of reasoning, you'd know that Abuja has not had a productive Minister as Wike aside Elrufai.

I was at Kuje some weeks ago and I was impressed with how work was going, who will believe that Kuje of all places will have its road turned to double lane?

Then Was at Gwarimpa (former Ojuelgba side) seeing how serious work was going made me wish we could have more of his kind at the helm of power.

Regardless of he talks too much and sometimes doesn't give a shit who his words hurt, the Minister is trying, like I said, except you are not in Abuja

Fiscus105:
I think they say they don't want Christian from the south to be the Gov of FCT.

Not until we totally discard our ethnicity and religion sentiments wen choosing who to lead us.
