Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reiterated President Bola Tinubu’s mandate for inclusive development, emphasising that infrastructure expansion should not be limited to urban centers but should extend to rural communities as well.

Wike made these known during an inspection of ongoing road construction projects in the densely populated satellite communities of Ketti and Takushara, both situated within the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).

This visit marks a significant step toward addressing the development disparities between Abuja’s urban core and its underserved outskirts.

“Like the emphasis Mr. President has always made, we should not only concentrate in the cities. We should take development to the satellite towns,” Wike said.

The minister announced that the newly constructed roads, which will serve as vital links between the satellite towns and central Abuja, are expected to be commissioned by the end of May, coinciding with the second anniversary of President Tinubu’s administration.

He praised AMAC Chairman Christopher Maikalangu for his efforts in bringing attention to the road needs of the two communities.

“If not for him, probably we would not have had our attention drawn to this place,” Wike said.

In addition to transportation improvements, Wike hinted at broader socio-economic development initiatives, including the construction of schools in Ketti and Takushara.

“We have approved it, waiting for the passage of the 2025 statutory budget for us to commence,” he said.

Wike emphasised that enhanced access would make living outside the city more attractive, stating, “From here to the city is up to 10 minutes. That is what the road network brings. It will open up the entire place.”

He indicated that this infrastructural shift is expected to encourage migration from the city center, alleviate urban congestion, and stimulate property development in the satellite communities.

When questioned about the deteriorating roads within the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) estates, Wike responded firmly: “Why should we do roads for the Federal Housing Authority? That is their estate, and they should be able to take care of it.”

He clarified that the FCT Administration’s focus remains on road projects that benefit the public rather than private developments.

In the spirit of the Easter season, Wike called on residents to foster unity and national cohesion, saying, “Christ was killed for our good. It is a period of forgiveness. Nigerians should work together for the interest of Nigerians.”

He assured the public of his administration’s commitment to delivering on its promises.

The Ketti and Takushara road projects are part of a broader vision to transform the Federal Capital into an inclusive, accessible, and equitable urban hub that honors its rural roots.
