Tinubu’s second anniversary: President to commission projects in area councils – Wike
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has announced his intention to request President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presence in the FCT Area Councils to commission completed infrastructure projects during the celebration of the President’s second year in office.
Wike disclosed this at the weekend while addressing reporters shortly after a routine inspection of ongoing infrastructure projects, slated for commissioning in May to commemorate President Tinubu’s second anniversary, across Gwagwalada, Kwali, and Bwari Area Councils of the FCT.
The minister expressed optimism that the President’s visit to the FCT Area Councils will strengthen ties with the people at the grassroots, adding that they will also have the opportunity to see their President in person.
The Minister said: “We are going to work that out, at least he (Mr. President) should be able to go to one of the Area Councils and let the people see that yes, this is their President, not just commissioning roads in the cities.
“We will plead that he visits at least one or two Area Councils so that the people will be happy that yes, this is their President. We can assure you that he will at least go to Gwagwalada, go to Kwali or Bwari where we have the Law School. We are going to make sure that Mr. President comes to identify with his people”.
On his assessment of the project sites visited, the FCT Minister expressed satisfaction with the progress and quality of work observed at various project sites, including the 10km Agoma Palace/Market/Park roads and other internal roads in Gwagwalada Area Council, the 15km A2 to Pai road in Kwali Area Council, as well as the War College/Army Checkpoint and other ancillary roads within the Bwari Area Council.
