FCT: Development not only for those in Asokoro, Maitama – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has shown that development is not selective with his strides across the capital city.
Tinubu made the remark while recalling instructing Wike to make Abuja work for all “Nigerians and not just those in Maitama and Asokoro.”
He spoke at the official commissioning of Kuje to Gwagwalada Dual Carriage Way, Phase 1, 7km, as part of projects earmarked to celebrate his third year anniversary.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu said the road would open up the agricultural potential of the area.
He said: “Today I’m delighted to stand here in Kuje to commission the phase one of the Kuje-Gwagwalada dual carriageway, the significance of the Kuje-Gwagwalada dual carriageway is both significant and geographical.
“For decades this road was a death trap, traders from Kuje, Gwagwalada, and Kwali ply this route. Criminals thrive in darkness, students of our institutions have wasted hours in traffic, farmers could not get their produce to market on time but that story ends Today.
“This seven kilometer dual carriageway with solar powered street lights and pedestrian walkways are more than a road, it’s security, it’s commerce, it’s dignity, it’s the economic corridor linking Abuja to three area councils and opening an exit route to Southern Nigeria.
“With the construction of this road, we have unlocked the Agricultural potentials of this area, open numerous residential layouts and making it safer for mothers, students, and workers to move in any hour. This is the Renewed Hope delivered to the door steps of our people in the Satlite Towns.
“Let me specially commend the Minister of the FCT, Wike; I gave you an instruction when I appointed you to make Abuja work for all Nigerians and not just those in Maitama and Asokoro.
“You have taken renewed hope to the grassroot, from the initial quarters in Katampe to Kuje and Gwagwalada, you have proven that development must not be selective.
“You heard the cry of Satellite communities and you responded, that is leadership. Well done minister.”
