Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike on Monday urged residents of the territory to keep faith with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying the president’s team in the FCT is made up of credible people and not the usual Nigerian politicians.
Wike spoke in Abaji town, headquarters of Abaji Area Council where he commissioned the 5-kilometre Naharati- River Ukya to Unguwan Hausawa Road, with 2-Span River Bridge and adjoining streets.
He said whatever promise the FCT Administration has made to residents, he will fulfil it without reneging on any of them.
Wike said; “Recall that in late 2023, precisely October – November, when we came to Abaji for a stakeholder’s meeting, we did consult you and we said that day that Mr President had sent us and it was for you to request one road you felt was so important for us to execute. This is the road you sent to us through your chairman of the council.
“In that stakeholder’s meeting, we did make a promise, as requested, that more police divisions are needed to beef up security in Abaji. And we promised, by the grace of God, we shall provide two more police divisions in Abaji.
“I also did tell you that day that whatever we agreed, go home and rest, we shall fulfill it. In January last year, after the stakeholder’s meeting, we flagged off this particular project, and I did say, this project will be ready for commissioning in December.
“I want to thank the company, they completed this project in November. Today we are in January 2025, we flagged it off in January 2024, we are commissioning today in January 2025.
“In the next few months, we will also come back and hand over the two police divisions that we are building for you. We did make a promise that we are going to provide infrastructure in Abaji University. As we speak now, you are aware construction is going on in that university.
“Throughout this week, from today till Friday, we will have devoted ourselves to commissioning of projects in the six area councils, so that everybody will know that we are not only concentrating in the city, as we are developing the city, so also we will be developing the satellite towns.
“I thank you for the support you have given to the administration of our president, who indeed, we thank almighty God for giving him to Nigeria at this time that is very very critical. Every promise we have made, be assured that we are going to fulfill the promises we have made. Don’t take us as the usual politicians, No. Ours is to make a promise, fulfill the promise to the people”, he stated.
