Wike’s projects are reshaping the capital, says Uche Nwosu.

Former Chief of Staff to the former Governor of Imo State, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, has praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for what he described as impressive infrastructural development across Abuja.

Speaking at a news conference in Abuja, Nwosu said the FCT Minister has demonstrated outstanding leadership through the delivery of critical infrastructure projects, including major roads, bridges, and public facilities.
According to him, both residents and visitors to the nation’s capital can clearly see the positive impact of the ongoing development initiatives under Wike’s administration.
“I have lived in Abuja for over 25 years and I know what many of these roads looked like before now,” he said.
“Today, projects such as the Apo Road, Maitama Bridge, Jahi Bridge, Jahi–Gwarimpa Interchange, the Airport Expressway to Kuje Road, the Kuje–Gwagwalada Road, the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) main carriageways, adjoining road networks in Katampe District, and several others stand as evidence of purposeful governance,” he added.
Nwosu noted that one of the primary responsibilities of government is to provide infrastructure and deliver the dividends of democracy to citizens, stressing that the FCT Minister has distinguished himself in that regard.
He also commended the construction of the judges’ quarters, describing it as an important step toward improving the welfare of judicial officers.
“Every journey begins with a step. The important thing is that development is taking place, and I believe similar interventions will extend to other government institutions and agencies,” he stated.
The former Imo governorship candidate further emphasized the need for Nigeria’s capital city to reflect global standards, arguing that Abuja should compare favourably with major capitals around the world.
He said investments in infrastructure, security, and environmental cleanliness are essential to enhancing the country’s image and creating a better experience for both residents and visitors.
Nwosu maintained that the ongoing transformation of Abuja under Wike’s leadership deserves recognition, describing the Minister’s performance as one of the most impactful in the history of the Federal Capital Territory.
