Abuja Will Rival Global Cities Before Tinubu’s First Term Ends – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Thursday pledged that Abuja will rank among the world’s leading cities before the end of President Bola Tinubu’s tenure.

Wike said the transformation of the capital city is in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and assured that no sector would be left behind under his leadership.

He made the remarks while flagging off the construction of Arterial Road N20 (Solomon Lar Way), which will link Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) to the Airport Expressway (AEW).

According to him:

“I don’t want a situation where you go to a site and then pull out from the site; that will be very embarrassing. Now that you have moved to site, remain there until the job is completed.

All of us will attest to the fact that under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President, we can see that the narrative has changed, and I want to assure residents of Abuja that, by the grace of God, before the first tenure of Mr President, Abuja will compete with most of the cities in the world.

That is a bank draft that I have given to you to go home with and continue to develop other areas, not only in the city but in the satellite areas.”

Wike added that the FCT Administration has also begun reforms in the health sector, noting:

“I have said that no sector will be left untouchable. We will make sure every sector is given the attention that is required.”
