Residents of Kubwa in the Bwari Area Council came out in their large numbers to welcome the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike who was on a routine projection inspection to the area.
The crowd who could not hide their joy over what they called unprecedented level of infrastructure development in the satellite towns commended President Bola Tinubu administration through the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike for making satellite towns now looking like cities.
Before visiting Kubwa-Gbazango road construction, the Minister had also inspected Karu township road projects, Apo- Karshi road respectively.
Wike expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work on the projects, nothing that many of them will be commissioned during the third year anniversary of President Tinubu’s administration.
One of the residents, Prosper Onyenaucheya, who spoke during the minister’s inspection of the ongoing construction of Kubwa-Gbazango road, otherwise called Arab Road on Friday, praised the Federal Capital Territory Administration under the leadership of Wike, for prioritizing projects that directly impact communities.
“You are doing a very wonderful work and the work is going fast.
“We want to thank you for the speed of the light with which the work has been going on here. Thank you very much Mr Project. We have felt your presence.
“The truth is that you have helped to promote the scorecards of our President. You are doing well. I know that Nigerians will miss this administration because of your work.”
The Minister reaffirmed the FCT Administration’s commitment to opening more roads across the FCT and making Abuja cleaner and more organized through sustained infrastructural development and urban renewal.
Fielding questions from journalists after the inspection, Wike assured that the Karu township roads will be among the projects to be inaugurated as part of the third anniversary of the President.
He also commended Abdul Val Nigeria Ltd, the contractor handling the Karu Road, stretching from Karu Interchange to Customs Clinic Junction, saying; “You can see that the job is going on well. What impressed me so much is that it is being handled by a local contractor, and you can see the quality of work being done there.
The contractor has demonstrated that if they are given the opportunity, our local contractors can also complete with the foreign ones.
On the Kubwa – Gbazango road, the minister said with the assurance being given by the contractor, the road will also be among those to be commissioned in June, this year.
