Minister of the federal capital territory (FCT) – Nyesom Wike has said that investing in road infrastructure will boost the economic activities in Abuja
Wike who made this known during an inspection of ongoing road projects in Abuja on Wednesday said infrastructural development is what the people want.
“This is what the people want, it is not theory; it is practical, let them see the action. They have lost hope, but hope is coming back through the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu,” Wike said.
“When I came on board, these roads were abandoned and I had to invite the contractors, and then we sat down and agreed on the way to fund the projects.
“The contractors have assured us that these roads will be completed on time,” he said.
One of the roads inspected was the Outer Southern expressway which stretches from A.A Rano through Deeper Life junction.
The road is being constructed by China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CGC) Nigeria limited.
