Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday said he would soon embark on massive project flag offs and commissioning within the educational sector across the FCT.
He disclosed this while addressing journalists after inspecting the ongoing construction of expressway from airport to Kuje and Kuje to Gwagwalada roads.
The Kuje expressway is expected to be completed before May, next year.
However, Wike said: “I told you that we will soon start commissioning and flagging off of projects in the school system, it’s quite huge, we want to take some time to rest and continue.
“Development is not a one day thing, it’s a continuous process, so anyone we will tackle, we will tackle to the end while we have the opportunity, when another person come; he will continue from where we have stopped.
“What is basic for us is assuming these infrastructures were provided before now, we would have gone beyond this but the reasons are expectant because they never thought these kind of projects would go on in their lifetime.
“This renewed Hope administration is really serious to change the lives of our people whether in the city or area councils.”
He also expressed satisfaction with the level of work being carried out on the road.
Wike who r called that the road was awarded during the COVID-19 period would be completed and handed over by June 2026 under his leadership.
“Kuje airport to Kuje, I’m impressed with the level of work being carried out by Arab Contractors and I promise that we will keep to our own agreement that by June next year, they would have handed it over.
“Remember that road was awarded before COVID in 2019 and when we came on board, the contractor was not on site, so we had to see what we can do and during our interaction with stakeholders they said we should try and see to the road, today we are happy with the level of work,” he said.
