Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has assured that Abuja will attain global standards in development before the end of President Bola Tinubu’s first tenure.
Wike gave the assurance on Thursday during the flag-off of the construction of Arterial Road N20 (Solomon Lar Way), linking Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) to the Airport Expressway.
He said the projects align with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that no sector under his leadership would be left unattended.
“All of us will attest to the fact that under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President, the narrative has changed. I want to assure residents that by the grace of God, before the end of this tenure, Abuja will compete with major cities of the world,” Wike said.
He urged contractors to remain on-site until projects are completed, warning against abandonment.
The minister added that the FCT administration had also begun expanding into the health sector, reaffirming that “no sector will be left untouched.”
