The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Wednesday placed governance and service delivery at the centre of his administration, ensuring that key road infrastructure projects in Abuja will be completed by May for commissioning by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as part of his third anniversary celebrations.
Wike gave the assurance after an extensive inspection tour of major project corridors, including the interchange handled by China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CGC), the Airport Road–Kuje junction stretch by Arab Contractors, and the Kuje first section being executed by Gilmor Engineering Nigeria Limited.
The minister said the inspections are part of a deliberate governance strategy to ensure accountability and timely delivery, especially as deadlines approach.
“We are coming out to check whether the promises made by the contractors will be fulfilled. The projects are expected to be handed over by the end of May, and from what we have seen, the work is progressing well,” he said.
Wike expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work, describing the performance of contractors as “very impressive,” while adding that monitoring will be continuous to sustain momentum.
“I am generally impressed with the quality of jobs by CGC, Arab Contractors and Gilmor. But this will not be a one-off exercise,” he said.
