Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, has assured that all capital projects initiated under President Bola Tinubu’s administration in Abuja will be completed before the expiration of the administration’s tenure.
Wike gave the assurance during a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he said the administration had recorded remarkable progress in infrastructure development across the FCT.
The minister disclosed that 76 out of 107 capital projects initiated under the Tinubu administration had been completed, while 10 more projects are expected to be commissioned before the January elections.
He said all remaining projects would be completed before the end of Tinubu’s tenure.
“Under the President Bola Tinubu administration, we have commissioned 107 capital projects and completed 76. Before the January election, we will commission 10, and before the end of his tenure, we would have commissioned all the projects,” Wike said.
Wike also highlighted the progress made on projects inherited from previous administrations.
He said 23 out of 25 projects inherited from the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari had been completed, with two still ongoing.
According to him, six of eight projects inherited from the administrations of former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had also been completed, while two remained under construction.
“We inherited 25 projects from President Buhari and completed 23, while two are currently ongoing.
“We inherited eight projects from the administrations of President Jonathan and President Yar’Adua. We have completed six, while two are ongoing,” he said.
The FCT Minister said the Tinubu administration remained committed to completing all projects initiated under the Renewed Hope Agenda before the end of the President’s tenure.
“Before this tenure expires, every project started under Bola Tinubu would have been completed,” Wike stated.
He also challenged critics to compare the achievements of the current administration in the FCT with those of previous governments.
“In the history of the FCT, no government has done what we have done in Abuja. I challenge anyone to come out,” he said.
