The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that a total of 30-kilometre roads will be constructed across the six area councils of the territory., which would be concluded before May 29, 2024
Penpushing reports that Wike made this known on Wednesday when the immediate past Senator that represented Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the Senate in the 9th Assembly under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Senator Zakari Dobi visited him in his office in Abuja
The Minister added that the construction is to decentralise development efforts from the city centre to rural communities across the area councils, stressing that President Bola Tinubu has ordered the project
‘President Bola Tinubu had directed that at least five-kilometre roads must be constructed in each of the six area councils before 29 May. This is part of his renewed hope agenda to ensure that people in rural communities were not left out in the development efforts of the current administration,” he said.
Penpushing further reports that Wike commended his guests for working as a team irrespective of political party differences for the development of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and promised to routinely consult them to contribute their quota in developing the city.
The Minister pointed out that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) administration would work with everybody that has something to offer, explaining that the establishment of the Civil Service Commission for the capital city was part of the renewed hope agenda by removing every bottleneck to career progression.
Penpushing also reports that Wike emphasized that Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was equally pulled out of Treasury Single Account (TSA) to encourage development in the capital city, explaining that the goal is to rebuild the lost hope among residents of the city.
The visiting Aduda earlier explained that the visit was to congratulate the Minister on his appointment and commend him for the good work he was doing, adding that the visit was also to thank the President for appointing a son of the soil as a minister and pledged their full support to the development of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for the interest of all.
‘We are also here to commend you for the bold step in establishing the Civil Service Commission for FCT, removing FCT from TSA and establishment of. Women Affairs Secretariat to address women’s concerns’, Aduda said.
