The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has assured that all capital projects initiated under the administration of President Bola Tinubu in Abuja will be completed before the end of the President’s tenure.

Wike gave the assurance during his monthly media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he highlighted the infrastructure projects executed by the FCT Administration under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The minister said 107 capital projects initiated by the Tinubu administration had so far been commissioned in the FCT, with 76 already completed.

He disclosed that 10 additional projects would be commissioned before the January elections, while the remaining projects would be completed before the expiration of the administration’s tenure.

Wike said, “The President’s administration under Bola Tinubu commissioned 107 capital projects. We have completed 76. Before the January election, we will commission 10, and before the end of his tenure, we would have commissioned all the projects.”

The minister also disclosed that the FCT Administration had made substantial progress on projects inherited from previous administrations.

According to him, 23 out of 25 projects inherited from the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari had been completed, with work continuing on the remaining two.

He added that the administration inherited eight projects from the administrations of former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, completing six while two were still ongoing.

Wike reiterated the FCT Administration’s commitment to completing all projects initiated under Tinubu before the end of the President’s tenure.

He also challenged critics to compare the level of infrastructure development achieved under the Tinubu administration with that 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,” the minister stated.
