The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has invested over N300 billion in developing the six Area Councils within a year.
FCT Minister Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike announced this during the commissioning of the 9 km Paikon Kore-Ibwa road in Gwagwalada.
He noted that Gwagwalada alone has received over N50 billion in projects, including road renovations, the upgrade of five secondary schools, and the construction of two new police divisions for enhanced security.
“If you add the total value of what the President has committed to Gwagwalada alone, you are talking about over N50b, for one area council. If you now add the six area councils taking that Gwagwalada is the least, you will see that in a year, the President has committed to the development of satellite towns, not less than N300b”.
“President Tinubu is deeply committed to the development of not only the city of Abuja but also the satellite towns. “He has directed us to provide the people of the Area Councils with whatever they need. Mr. President believes that genuine governance involves seeking the people’s buy-in for every project that aims to improve their well-being,” he said.
