76 Out Of 107 Roads Under Tinubu Completed – Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, says that 76 out of the 107 capital projects initiated under President Bola Tinubu’s administration in the nation’s capital have been delivered
Wike gave the update during a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he said the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) had recorded significant progress in infrastructure development under the present administration.
He said 10 additional projects were expected to be commissioned before the January elections, while the remaining projects would be completed before the expiration of the current administration’s tenure.
“The President’s administration under Bola Tinubu commissioned 107 capital projects. We have completed 76. Before the January election, we will commission 10, and before the end of his tenure, we would have commissioned all the projects,” Wike said.
The Minister also highlighted the progress made on projects inherited from previous administrations, saying the FCTA had continued to complete projects that were left unfinished by past governments.
Wike disclosed that 23 out of the 25 projects inherited from the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari had been completed, with two still ongoing.
“We inherited 25 projects from President Buhari and completed 23, while two are currently ongoing,” he said.
He further disclosed that six of the eight projects inherited from the administrations of former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had been completed, while work was continuing on the remaining two.
Wike said the administration remained committed to completing projects initiated under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda before the end of the President’s tenure.
The Minister said the infrastructure development recorded in the FCT under the present administration had been substantial, urging critics to compare its performance with that of previous administrations.
“In the history of the FCT, no government has done what we have done in Abuja. I challenge anyone to come out,” Wike stated.
“Before this tenure expires, every project started under Bola Tinubu would have been completed,” Wike assured.
