FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fulfilling the promises made by Bola Tinubu to residents of the nation’s capital.
Wike said he will not embark on projects, only to abandon them midway.
He said; “What is most important is that the promise Tinubu made is being carried out to the letter, particularly as we came in from the airport to the Kuje community, the work is going on very well as I expected, by Arab Contractors.
“They have promised that by the end of this 2024, they would have finished everything pertaining to earthwork.
So, the work is going on fast and here in Kuje, as per the dualization of this Garage road, we believe that latest by this December, the contractor, Gilmor would have handed over.
We have also directed them to continue the dualization from Kuje to Gwagwalada and that will ease off transport difficulties and also reduce travel time when going to Gwagwalada.
So, people who have no business along the Giri-Airport axis will now from Gwagwalada come to town.
“This is a public road, not a private road. It is to be used by everybody for the interest of the public. The transmission company will accordingly be told to expedite actions so as to relocate their electrical installations. We are going to make sure that every stakeholder understands the importance of the quick handover of that road”.
On the issue of funding, Wike said his Administration would work within the limit of available resources to deliver on its mandate.
