No Part Of Abuja Will Be Left Undeveloped – Wike
…FLAGS OFF CONSTRUCTION OF COLLECTOR ROAD CN8 IN DAKI BIYU DISTRICT
1. Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike has reassured residents of the territory that no part of the FCT will be left undeveloped.
2. The Minister gave the reassurance in Abuja on Thursday, October 24, 2024, while flagging off the construction of Collector Road CN8 (Asuquo Okon Way) from Arterial Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) to Arterial Road N1 (Olusegun Obasanjo Way) and other adjoining roads within sector centre by Daki Biyu District, FCT.
3. The Minister who stated that the Collector Road CN8 is the 4th in the series of road projects that were flagged off for construction in the Abuja city centre this week, said the project would be completed by May 2025 to commemorate President Tinubu’s second year anniversary.
4. He assured the contractor of adequate funding and urged him to ensure the completion of the road project within the stipulated time.
5. Barr. Wike also revealed that the FCT Administration would commence the construction of four other road projects in the satellite towns by next Monday and said that the provision of road infrastructure outside the city center was a necessity and demonstrates the importance that the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda attaches to the development of FCT Satellite Towns.
6. The Minister said, “I believe that this is the first time, for so many years, that the people who reside outside the city can feel the impact of governance and this is what it’s supposed to be.
7. “That is why Mr. President, in his Renewed Hope Agenda, has said development must not only be concentrated within the city where it is believed the big men are; that development should also be taken to the rural areas where those who are considered not to be very wealthy are settled.”
8. Stressing the FCT Administration’s commitment to ensuring that development reaches all parts of the Abuja city center, the Minister said, “No part of Abuja in the city should look different from the other part of the city.
9. “Mr. President has said everywhere in the city must have a good road network so that anybody who comes here will know that yes, indeed, this is the city of the biggest country in Africa”.
