President Bola Tinubu on Monday said that a series of laudable completed projects being commissioned under the present FCT Administration, led by the Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike, are enough to speak for themselves.

Tinubu, who stated this while commissioning a newly completed access road to Giri District in Abuja, was represented at the occasion by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abass.

He expressed appreciation to the Minister for not only embracing his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda but also localising it, which has now birthed quality and excellence in the dual states of communities long laid in the shadows.

“Honourable Minister, your work speaks for itself in every corner of the FCT. From the vast-spaced districts of Maitama, Jahi, Katampe, Wuye, Mabushi, and the likes, to the towns of Gwagwalada, Kwali, Bwari, and Abaji, and growing districts such as Kabusa, Ketti, and now Giri, your leadership has brought progress closer to the people. Thank you very much.

“These newly constructed access roads are not just infrastructural achievements but statements of intent—the intention to open up Giri District and the FCT.

“With this Administration, no community is too small, area too distant, citizen too insignificant to benefit from the dividends of democracy. Honourable Minister, on behalf of myself, my administration, and the good people of the FCT, I say thank you to you. Thank you for reminding us that good governance is not about fanfare, but about footsteps,” he said.

In his speech during the road commissioning, Wike disclosed that, having completed the construction of the access road, the next step would be to begin putting in place necessary infrastructure within the district as a whole.

Wike explained that the opening up of the district, which boasts the presence of the University of Abuja, the proposed EFCC Academy, and other institutions expected to be located there, will go a long way in not only encouraging those institutions to move their equipment to develop their areas but also motivating private land titleholders.

“What we have done now, having created this access road, is tell the Executive Secretary of FCDA and other relevant agencies to start working on the details of how we’re going to do the roads within the district. So, be assured that maybe next year, it will be a different thing,” Wike said.
