The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) is set to unveil a slew of completed infrastructure projects to commemorate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second anniversary in office.
FCT Minister, Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, disclosed this during a press briefing in Abuja on Saturday.
According to Barrister Wike, the projects to be commissioned span across the Abuja city center, satellite towns, and rural areas, reflecting the FCTA’s commitment to inclusive development. Some of the key projects include the Arterial Road N16 connecting Maitama and Katampe districts, the 16-kilometer OSEX II to Wasa service carriageway linking Apo and Wasa districts, and the renovated International Conference Centre (ICC).
The Minister expressed satisfaction with the progress made on these projects and attributed their completion to President Tinubu’s visionary leadership.
“I’m happy to identify with the leadership of Mr. President, and that is what Nigeria needs. Mr. President has given first-class infrastructure to Abuja. All of you can attest to the fact that indeed, Abuja has really changed,” Barrister Wike said.
The commissioning of the projects will take two weeks, with the FCTA expecting to provide a comprehensive list of projects to be inaugurated next week.
Barrister Wike emphasized the Renewed Hope Agenda’s impact on the FCT, stating that the transformation in the nation’s capital is evident.
The Minister also highlighted plans for further development, including expanding water provision to satellite towns and continuing road construction and rehabilitation within the city.
He urged residents to take ownership of the infrastructure projects and protect them against vandalism, saying, “These projects are for the benefit of all, and we must work together to safeguard them.”
Barrister Wike reiterated the FCT Administration’s commitment to delivering projects that meet residents’ needs and expectations, emphasizing that “our priority is to improve the quality of life for all FCT residents, and we are dedicated to delivering projects that meet their needs and expectations.”
