Wike Sets "Non-Negotiable" June Deadline for Abuja Projects

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reiterated his hardline stance on project timelines, warning contractors that the June deadline for major infrastructure is non-negotiable. Speaking during an inspection of the N16 interchange, the Minister stated that projects tied to President Tinubu’s third anniversary must be handed over by the second week of June.

Wike expressed dissatisfaction with some delays but commended the work at the N16 interchange, which he described as high-quality. He also disclosed that plans are underway to extend the road network from the bridge axis to Zuba, with procurement and compensation processes already in motion.

Beyond roads, the FCT administration is pushing to inaugurate several satellite water projects in Bwari, Karu, and Orozo to improve basic services for residents. The Minister’s "Renewed Hope" drive in Abuja remains one of the most visible infrastructure programs in the country, despite criticism over the state of some public health facilities in the capital.
