The FCT Minister, Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has stated that projects executed in the Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) represent the fulfillment of promises made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to FCT residents.
During the commissioning of the Naharati Rivers Ukya Access Road with two span river bridges in Abaji Area Council on Monday, January 20, 2025, Minister Wike emphasized that this project was a direct response to the needs of the people of Abaji, as conveyed by the Council Chairman, Hon. Abubakar Umar Abdullahi.
“We did consult you,” Minister Wike said, “and the Chairman requested this road as a crucial need for the community. This is a fulfillment of that request.”
The Minister assured residents that all promises made by President Tinubu for the FCT will be fulfilled. He highlighted other commitments, including the provision of two additional police divisions in Abaji and infrastructure development at the Abuja University, stating, “We flagged off the road construction in January 2024 and today, in January 2025, we are commissioning it. And in the next few months, we will also come back and hand over the two police divisions.”
Barr. Wike emphasized that no part of the FCT will be neglected, with a focus on even development across all areas, including the satellite towns. “Throughout this week, from Monday to Friday, we will devote ourselves to the commissioning of projects in the six area councils,” he announced.
