The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has committed over N300 billion within a year to the development of the six Area Councils in the FCT.

This significant investment was disclosed by the FCT Minister, Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, during the commissioning of the 9km Paikon Kore - Ibwa road in Gwagwalada Area Council.

Barr. Wike highlighted that Gwagwalada Area Council alone has received over N50 billion in development projects, including the renovation of the Paikon Kore - Ibwa road, the reconstruction of the Aguma Palace road, the renovation of five secondary schools (including the School for the Gifted, Government Secondary School Gwagwalada, GSS Anagada, GSS Tugan Maje, and GSS Giri), and the construction of two new police divisions to enhance security.

He said, ' If you add the total value of what the President has committed to Gwagwalada alone, you are talking about over N50b, for one area council. If you now add the six area councils taking that Gwagwalada is the least, you will see that in a year, the President has committed to the development of satellite towns, not less than N300b".

"President Tinubu is deeply committed to the development of not only the city of Abuja but also the satellite towns," Minister Wike emphasized. "He has directed us to provide the people of the Area Councils with whatever they need. Mr. President believes that genuine governance involves seeking the people's buy-in for every project that aims to improve their well-being."

The Minister further announced the approval for the construction of the Ibwa bridge, a crucial infrastructure project requested by the Area Council leadership. This project will be included in the FCT's 2025 statutory budget, reflecting the President's dedication to the needs of the people.

Wike might be anything and everything you call him, but to us living in the FCT, he is 001 for a reason, the next FCT minister will just chill, relax and chop money cos everything he can ever think of doing in the FCT, his predecessor has surpassed it.

obviously you have no Idea of what civilisation means, well developed countries are still working hard building and rebuilding their cities and you're saying someone is coming in to relax. Abuja is a major village compared to some cities in Africa not to even mention places like Europe Asia and dubai.

If you live or have lived in the FCT for the past 10 to 20 years, you would understand my post very well my brother.

You don’t need to respond to him, he seems educated but lacks knowledge. You have said your opinion, so stand by it. Fct has seen a lot of development under wike and sure Abuja residents will see more. We appreciate those who plan to achieve, and not those who want to wake up tomorrow and see Abuja like Europe…

Great work wike👍🏾

Wike again, this man is a genius, instead of gov fubara to lie down low and learn the treaks of how wike is achieving this success, he will be fighting wike . Today, wike is an achiever while gov fubara have not achieved any meaningful developments for River people.

Were y. You can join both of them if you like.
Let me educate you small. These is how a city is rated. 1. Economic indicator ( Unemployment rate, Job growth, wage growth, innovation rate, start-up Activity, median household income, upward mobility rate, etc)
2. Public service indicator ( school quality, road quality, public utility rate, ) the list continues.

So that rubbish road out of about 30 indicators, is what you are using to judge. Africans truly are daft
