Wike Reiterate Tinubu's Commitment to Developing the Nation's Capital

ABUJA- FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is determined to turn the Federal Capital Territory's (FCT) satellite towns into cities.

Wike noted that the Tinubu administration had brought governance to the people of Abuja at the commissioning of the Kabusa to Takushara road construction in Abuja on Tuesday.

He stated that the Tinubu administration was dedicated to providing rural communities in the FCT with governance and development.

“One of the promises Tinubu made is that look, all people in satellite towns, do not think that the government is about cities, we will also turn satellite towns into cities.

“One of the things to do is to construct roads for you, and I can assure you, it is not about flagging up road projects, in the next six to seven months, I want to assure you we are going to commission this project.

“For the first time, roads are being constructed in rural areas and are being fitted with streetlights. It has never happened before and I want to assure you that the government of President Tinubu will not fail you,” Wike said.

He also stated that the Kabusa to Takushara route would be outfitted with lighting to illuminate the road at night, making life a little more comfortable, similar to that of cities.

The minister congratulated the Kabusa villagers for their faith in Tinubu's administration and told them that the funding required to complete the project has been made available.

Wike, who urged communities to continue their support, revealed that another contract would be given on Wednesday for the development of the Kabusa-Ketti road as part of Tinubu's rural transformation strategy.

“What we are doing today is what the Tinubu Renewed Hope Agenda is all about – give hope back to our people.

“I am happy that if not for the government of Tinubu, I wouldn’t have known Kabusa and Takushara,” he said.

Wike urged the contractor to employ the locals to enable them to feed their families.
