The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reaffirmed his administration’s determination to completing key infrastructure projects across Abuja before the end of President Bola Tinubu’s first term.

He made the  promise on Monday while flagging off access roads ILS 02 and ILS 03 (Timipre Sylva Street) in Mabushi, Abuja.

Wike assured residents that the capital city would undergo a significant transformation by 2027.

The minister said the project is another milestone in the implementation of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which focuses on modern infrastructure, transportation, education, healthcare, and youth empowerment in the FCT.

“By the time Mr. President’s tenure expires, Abuja will be a different city. In terms of infrastructure, Abuja will compete with other known cities of the world,” Wike said.

“What we are doing is implementing the vision of the President, and no sector will be left untouched.”

Responding to the question that his administration is focused mostly on roads, the minister emphasised that infrastructure is the foundation of development.

He added that all ongoing and new projects are fully funded to ensure they are completed on schedule and not abandoned.

“Don’t bring projects when you don’t have the money. If you award contracts without funding, you only raise false hopes. That is why we ensure every project we flag off is backed by available funds,” he said.
