Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike said reviving and completing capital projects abandoned under previous administrations for decades was\u00a0 the hallmark of his three-year tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wike said his administration\u2019s focus on reviving abandoned projects, completing critical infrastructure and delivering new projects had transformed Abuja since he assumed office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made the remarks on Saturday after inspecting major infrastructure projects across Abuja, as he reflected on achievements recorded since Aug. 21, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To document the achievements, Wike announced plans by the FCT Administration to publish a comprehensive report on projects completed and initiated during his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the publication would detail projects inherited and completed, as well as new projects awarded under his administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wike said his team had remained committed to its mandate despite initial challenges, adding that residents could attest to the changes recorded across the FCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am happy that in these three years in office, our team has remained completely committed to doing the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChallenges have come, but we have been able to surmount them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe residents of the FCT can attest and testify that indeed things have changed for the better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister said the administration had prioritised aggressive infrastructure delivery, urban renewal and completion of critical projects to change the narrative about Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we came in, many doubted what could be achieved. Today, you can see the results for yourself,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said his administration had also revived and completed critical capital projects abandoned under previous administrations, some dating back to 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe track record of what we have accomplished in these three years is there for everyone to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen you look at the actual records of what we have achieved, you will be shocked at how far we have come,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wike expressed satisfaction with his contribution to the development of the FCT, saying he was proud of the progress recorded during his three years in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am very happy and proud that I have been able to contribute my own quota to the development of the FCT,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
