The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, is poised to inaugurate the construction of four new roads and other significant projects this week.
In a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the flag-off will include six projects aimed at enhancing infrastructure in Abuja.
Key projects include the Kabulsa-Takushara Access Road, the Kabusa-Ketti Access Road, and an access road to the new EFCC Academy in Giri District. Additionally, Wike will oversee the design and construction of 10 staff quarters for the Nigerian Law School in Bwari and a 15 km road from A2 Junction on Abuja-Lokoja Road to Pia in Kwali Area Council.
Olayinka emphasised that these initiatives reflect the administration’s commitment to improving transportation and public facilities. The minister has also pledged to distribute new vehicles to security agencies to bolster their operational capabilities.
Wike’s proactive approach includes recent inspections of over ten project sites across Abuja, where he assessed ongoing developments such as the rehabilitation of key roads and the construction of new access routes. His efforts are part of a broader strategy to enhance urban infrastructure and meet the growing needs of residents in both urban and satellite towns within the FCT.
