The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is set to undergo significant development as the Minister of FCT, Mr. Nyesom Wike, announced ambitious plans for the construction of 30 kilometers of roads across the six Area Councils. This extensive infrastructure project aims to decentralize development efforts and bring progress to rural communities within the FCT.
Minister Wike made this announcement during a meeting with Sen. Philip Aduda and Mr. Zakari Dobi in his office in Abuja. Sen. Aduda, who served as the immediate past Senator representing the FCT in the 9th Assembly, and Mr. Dobi, who contested under the All Progressives Congress in the last elections, came together to discuss the development of the FCT.
The Minister stated that the 30 kilometers of roads, with five kilometers allocated to each of the six Area Councils, will be completed before May 29, 2024. This initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s “renewed hope agenda” to ensure that rural communities are not left behind in the development efforts of the current administration.
