Residents Applaud Tinubu, Wike For FCT Satellite Town Roads

Some residents of Kubwa in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have commended President Bola Tinubu over the construction of roads, especially in the satellite towns by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), under the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.

One of the residents, Prosper Onyenaucheya, who spoke during the minister’s inspection of the ongoing construction of Kubwa-Gbazango road, otherwise called Arab Road on Friday, praised the FCTA under the leadership of Wike, for prioritising projects that directly impact communities.

During the inspection, Wike expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work on the road projects, which include Karu township roads, Apo-Karshi road and Kubwa – Gbazango road, otherwise called Arab Road, noting that many of them will be commissioned during the third anniversary of President Tinubu’s administration.

The minister also reaffirmed the FCT Administration’s commitment to opening more roads across the FCT and making Abuja cleaner and more organized through sustained infrastructural development and urban renewal.

Addressing the FCT minister in Kubwa during the inspection, Prosper Onyenaucheya said, “You are doing a very wonderful work and the work is going fast.

“We want to thank you for the speed of the light with which the work has been going on here. Thank you very much Mr Project. We have felt your presence.

“The truth is that you have helped to promote the scorecards of our President. You are doing well. I know that Nigerians will miss this administration because of your work.”

Fielding questions from journalists after the inspection, Wike assured that the Karu township roads will be among the projects to be inaugurated as part of the third anniversary of the President.

He also commended Abdul Val Nigeria Ltd, the contractor handling the Karu Road, stretching from Karu Interchange to Customs Clinic Junction, saying, “You can see that the job is going on well. What impressed me so much is that it is being handled by a local contractor, and you can see the quality of work being done there.

“The contractor has demonstrated that if they are given the opportunity, our local contractors can also complete with the foreign ones.”

On the Kubwa – Gbazango road, the minister said with the assurance being given by the contractor, the road will also be among those to be commissioned in June, this year.
