Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, credited the successes of the FCT Administration to the support from President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly.
Wike said Tinubu’s support and the timely passage of the FCTA’s budget by the National Assembly has aided in implementing infrastructural projects across the capital city.
He spoke at an event to commission access roads to the Renewed Hope Cities and estates in Karsana District of Abuja to mark Tinubu’s third year anniversary in office as President.
The President was represented at the commissioning by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Wike said: “Let me once again thank the Senate President for representing Mr President very well, today is the 18th day of commissioning of projects under the third year anniversary of Mr President.
I said when Mr President came here in 2024 to lay the foundation of the Renewed Hope City, for those of us who were here that day, I was wondering how would anybody bother themselves to come and stay in this area because there was no road, when he was talking about potholes, it means that there is road but bad roads. This one had no road, it was terrible.
I remember one of the developers said please all our investments would be vain if there is no road construction here and I said since it’s renewed hope, go home and sleep, we must have to construct the road in this Karsana District.
This contract was awarded last year February 2025 to Lubricks and we thank God today on the third year of Mr President that it’s a different story, story that we have turned around this area and look at how beautiful it is, Mr President, it’s your handwork, its support for the FCT Administration and it would not have been possible if you would not have given us the support and that of the National Assembly to make sure that out budget is passed as quickly as possible.
“I thank the contractor, every time I come here and I would ask them that we are almost in May 29 and they would say we will try our best but you too try your best by payment. “I thank God today that payment is no longer the problem and finishing the work is not the problem both parties have fulfilled their own obligation.”
