FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike says Abuja will look different after President Bola Tinubu ends his first term in 2027.

He made this known at the inauguration of the upgraded War College/Army Checkpoint Road and other ancillary roads in Ushafa, Bwari Area Council, Abuja, on Monday, October 28.

He said the FCT will change due to the monumental infrastructural development.

He noted that apart from the infrastructural development, 15 other projects are still ongoing including the transformation of the area councils.

The Minister, 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.

“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,” Wike said.

He called out critics and challenged them to witness what the Tinubu-led 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.

“The point we are making is that this is just one year and a few months. Mr President has stayed in office, but see what he has done in terms of infrastructure in area councils.

“When he spent four years, can you say what will happen in area councils?” he asked.

The former Rivers State Governor added that the federal government has 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.

He explained that the procurement of the project to upgrade the War College/Army Checkpoint Road and other ancillary roads in Ushafa began before the current administration.

He said that the 18-kilometre road, which would be executed by a local contractor, was part of the administration’s efforts to improve road networks in satellite towns.

“It is also part of Tinubu directive to empower indigenous contractors who have shown capacity and are willing to work.

“I am happy with what I have seen today in terms of equipment,” he said.
