The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed to transform the capital city before 2027, News About Nigeria reports.
He stated this while speaking on Monday at the inauguration of the upgrading of War College/Army Checkpoint Road and other ancillary roads in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council, Abuja.
He noted that the city will look different in a good way by the time President Bola Tinubu finishes his first tenure in 2027, adding that there will be monumental infrastructural development.
The FCT Minister also noted that beyond infrastructural development in the city, the area councils are also being transformed, with more than 15 projects currently ongoing.
Wike, who listed the projects and were confirmed by the area councils’ chairmen, added that three other projects would be inaugurated for construction in satellite towns.
He said, “When we came on board, I did say that under Tinubu’s administration, when he makes a promise, all you need to do is be patient; that promise would be fulfilled.
“I have said before that politics is a covenant between those that are elected and those that elected them.
“I have said that people should hold those that they have elected accountable; those who have been appointed should be held accountable.”
He called on those who doubt the achievements of the Tinubu-led administration to challenge what the administration has done in the six area councils in just a year and some months.
According to him, the achievements are not propaganda but verifiable facts.
Wike added that beyond road infrastructure, the Tinubu-led government had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a Chinese company to provide potable water in Kwali, Gwagwalada, and Kuje area councils.
He urged the residents of FCT to support the Tinubu administration to do more for the people.
