Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has confirmed the preparedness of his Administration to commence the commissioning of over 30 projects across the Territory.

Speaking with newsmen on Thursday, June 4, 2026, shortly after an inspection tour of some of the projects slated for commissioning, Barr Wike expressed his delight over the quality of all the projects inspected and confirmed that they were 100% completed.

“From what we have seen, we are set to go. I can say all the projects we inspected are one hundred per cent ready...I am very happy with the quality of the job”, he said.

Projects inspected included the Gwarinpa-Jahi Interchange, the Airport-Kuje Road, the Kuje-Gwagwalada Road, the Outer Southern Expressway main carriageways and the aesthetic redesign of the Abuja City Gate.

With specific reference to the Abuja City Gate, Barr Wike pointed out that its launch may be done at night so that the beauty of the redesigned Abuja City Gate would be better appreciated. “We believe that the City Gate will be inaugurated sometime in the night so that we can see the beauty of the place. We are very happy indeed, and I am sure that the residents of Abuja are also happy. This is governance in action, and you can see the dividends of democracy. You can see the Renewed Hope working, and we believe by the grace of God, from Monday we will start the commissioning of these projects”, he said.

He further extended an invitation to the media to be part of the commissioning ceremonies so that they could appreciate the level of work that the government had done towards transforming the Federal Capital Territory, adding, “You will be our apostles, our ambassadors to tell the world of the transformations by Mr President in FCT”, he added.

Responding to a question on the number of projects to be commissioned by the president, the FCT Minister said it would be determined by the Presidency, stressing that it was not possible for him to commission every project.

The Minister hinted that senior officials in government would also be involved in the commissioning exercise as was done in previous years.
