Mr Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), expressed his confidence on Saturday that several ongoing projects within the FCT would be completed within an eight-month timeframe.
Wike offered this assurance following his inspection of various projects in Abuja to assess their progress, according to the reports of the News Agency of Nigeria.
Wike gave the assurance after inspecting some of the projects in Abuja to see the level of progress in Abuja to assess their progress. Some of the projects he examined included the finalization of Roads B6, B12 and Circle Road in the Central Area, as well as the rehabilitation of the Federal Secretariat, being handled by Julius Berger.
The Minister also reviewed the construction of the southern Parkway, running from Christian Centre (S8/9) to Ring Road 1, under the supervision of the outer Southern Expressway, handled by CGC.
This extensive project stretches from Villa Roundabout to OSEX/Ring Road 1 Junction and includes four interchanges.
Wike also assessed the comprehensive development of Arterial Road N20, extending from Northern Parkway to ONEX with spurs being handled by Gilmor Engineering.
Following his thorough inspection, the Minister expressed contentment with the quality of work, emphasizing that President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope was not mere propaganda but a tangible reality.
Reflecting on his first month in office, Wike recalled that no contractors were active on-site due to non-payment when he assumed his role as FCT Minister.
Expressing a deep belief in Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda, the minister said he had been reassuring Nigerians that there would be change “and that change is what you are seeing today.
The Minister expressed optimism that, with divine grace, these strategically important roads would begin benefitting everyone in the construction phase over the next eight months.
