…AS FCT MINISTER COMMISSIONS TEMPORARY ACCESS ROAD TO SABURI 1 AND 2 COMMUNITIES IN AMAC


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, January 25, 2025, commissioned the 5-kilometer temporary access road connecting Saburi 1 and 2 communities to the Outer Northern Expressway (ONEX) and the old Keffi, Dei-Dei International market road in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).

During the commissioning ceremony, the Minister announced the Federal Government's approval for reconstructing the Dei-Dei International Market road to Life Camp. He assured residents that the project would commence in February and be completed by the end of the year.

He stated, "Mr. President has directed that this Dei-Dei International Market road should be reconstructed to Life Camp, so that the market can come back to what it used to be as an international market. So, be assured that in the next one month, we will flag it off and I can assure you, before the end of this year, we will come back and commission it."

Speaking to the residents of Saburi, Barr. Wike emphasized the commitment of the current administration to delivering on its promises. He said, "Let me thank the people of Saburi for mobilizing yourself to show appreciation for what the President has done, remembering the communities that make up AMAC. Just as the Chairman said, when we came here last year to flag off this road project, you know the usual thing. They will say yes, after flag off, what next, it will be abandoned project every time. But I told you that ours will not be the same. We will not flag-off any project and abandon the project."

The Minister also highlighted the inclusion of streetlights in the Saburi Road project, acknowledging the community's proximity to the city. He further assured the AMAC Chairman, Hon. Christopher Maikalangu, that the Zabna to Kagini road project which he had requested would be constructed, recognizing his leadership and support for the President.

. Barr. Wike emphasized the commitment of the President to develop all parts of Abuja, stating, "Under President Tinubu’s administration, every part of Abuja will be touched. We are not going to concentrate development only in the city. We must carry development, by the directive of Mr. President to all the communities and that’s why since Monday the 20th of January, this is the sixth day we have visited all the Area Councils." He also announced that every Area Council will have one road project included in the FCT’s 2025 Statutory budget.



The Minister appealed to FCT residents to exercise patience and support the President's administration, stating, "I appeal to you now, just be patient with the Administration of President Ahmed Tinubu. You will know that the President is committed and serious to helping Nigeria be a better country." He also reiterated the government's commitment to improving education infrastructure in the FCT.

Earlier in his remarks, the AMAC, Chairman, Hon. Maikalangu expressed gratitude to the FCT Minister on behalf of the local communities for the swift and timely completion of the road project, as promised.

The Chairman conveyed to the Minister the immense appreciation felt by residents of the community. He emphasized that the Minister is the first to demonstrate such genuine concern for the needs of residents, earning widespread praise and admiration within the communities. The Chairman further acknowledged the Minister's dedication to improving the lives of residents not only in urban areas but also the rural regions.

Why waste money to organize commission ceremony for 5km road project, at this rate if they commission an interstate road of more than 100km they will throw an Owambe party. Spits

Nice one from the government. We need more roads network in fct

Wike the uncommon politician. Ye ndi eba (X4).

If every Nigerian politician works or worked like Wike, Nigeria would have been a paradise.

To our politicians, you can steal money but make sure you get the job done!

Saying you shouldn't steal is like looking for a 20 years old virgin in Owerri. That is a very unfortunate an unfruitful venture.

It's almost impossible to separate African politicians from illicit funds and embezzlement scandals.


So, pad your budget but do the job.

Woke

Wike is working💪 👷‍♂️ 👏

Ipob in severe pain

Good development from the chicken government..

It's time to make FCT great again

Children of hate! They must complain!

I'll be super happy if that road is done.
It's road to my house and I pass it everyday when in Abuja.

Wike is really working. So many roads being done in Abuja and they don't start to abandon but rather they make sure they are completed.

E no go better for all the northerners who were minister of Abuja over the years. They were all wastage and did nothing but eat money for decades.

Let them tackle insecurities first

On a normal day, Wike and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi should not be talking because Bala Mohammed is a self-celebratwd failure. Wike is less than two years as FCT CEO. Bala Mohammed was also in charge of FCT during Jonathan's era. What was his accomplishment?

Recall that this same FCT had another minister for eight years who was passing time.

What Wike has shown us is that when a state governor is working, citizens won't need the president to give them rice.

Thu#der fire d last two FCT ministers.

cool

Anyway, Agriculture is life

Of recent, I have not been seeing senator Philip with Wike together. Abi Dem don quarrel?

why must they steal money? Is the money their own? You are encouraging corruption. Ministers, Governors, President etc are called to work and serve the people. No big thing about it. It is Nigeria that change the narration.

If he doesn't do that, how do you want people like you and your other critics to know that he's working?

I have discovered something terrible about some Nigerians, they don't get satisfy no matter how much you tried for them.

Wike has been on a consistent commissioning spree since over 3 months now in that FCT that we hardly see anything been commissioned during the time of the past FCT ministers. That's beside the numerous commissioning that he has been doing since he became the FCT minister.

We should praise who is working regardless of our political differences.

Wike is working and he's an uncommon politician.

Kudos To Wike.

I can now see why they tagged him Mr Project in Rivers State by Prof Osinbajo during his governorship era in Rivers State.

I am not a fan of Wike but truth be told this man is a star performer, infact Abuja would have been paradise now if all those Fulani past minister had performed even half of what he has currently achieved, he is definitely on course to be best minister Abuja has seen, even at this rate he is going to beat El rufai achievements hands down

Hahaha... The construction of the road dey pain IP0B/0BIRATS no be small.


Why did Bitter Obi the Pandora criminal not construct the roads while he was governor of Anambra. After all, Obi the Pandora criminal built a brewery so that you people can drink to stupor and remain drunkards for life.

We hope for more approval for new roads all across Nigeria

Every sensible person in Abuja that want to see a working Nigeria will vote Wike for president.

I am a supporter of Wike but take it easy on your statements because El-Rufai worked more than Wike
