Residents Commend Tinubu, Wike Over Road Projects in FCT

By Abdullahi Muhammad, Abuja

Residents of Kubwa in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for ongoing road construction projects, particularly in satellite towns, being executed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration under the leadership of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

One of the residents, Prosper Onyenaucheya, who spoke during the minister’s inspection of the ongoing construction of the Kubwa-Gbazango Road, also known as Arab Road, on Friday, praised the administration for prioritising projects that directly impact communities.

During the inspection, Wike expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work on the road projects, which include Karu township roads, the Apo-Karshi Road, and the Kubwa-Gbazango Road. He noted that many of the projects would be commissioned during the third anniversary of President Tinubu’s administration.

The minister reaffirmed the FCT Administration’s commitment to opening more roads across the territory and making Abuja cleaner and more organised through sustained infrastructural development and urban renewal.

Addressing the minister during the inspection in Kubwa, Onyenaucheya said, “You are doing a very wonderful work and the work is going fast. We want to thank you for the speed at which the work has been going on here.

“Thank you very much, Mr Project. We have felt your presence. The truth is that you have helped to promote the scorecards of our President. You are doing well. I know that Nigerians will miss this administration because of your work.”

Fielding questions from journalists after the inspection, Wike assured that the Karu township roads would be among the projects to be inaugurated as part of the third anniversary of the President.

He also commended Abdul Val Nigeria Ltd, the contractor handling the Karu Road, which stretches from Karu Interchange to Customs Clinic Junction.

“You can see that the job is going on well. What impressed me so much is that it is being handled by a local contractor, and you can see the quality of work being done there.

“The contractor has demonstrated that if they are given the opportunity, our local contractors can also compete with the foreign ones,” he said.

On the Kubwa-Gbazango Road, the minister said that, based on assurances from the contractor, the project would also be among those to be commissioned in June, 2026.
