Mr President will not only inaugurate projects in the city. He will also visit at least one or two area councils so that the people will be happy that, yes, he identified with them.
As part of the activities that will be held to commemorate President Bola Tinubu’s second year in office, he will travel to a few of the area councils in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in order to meet and interact with people who live in rural areas.
This was said by Minister Nyesom Wike of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) when he visited the Kwali, Gwagwalada, and Bwari Area Councils in Abuja on Saturday to examine various ongoing projects.
According to Wike, Tinubu would travel to a few of the area councils in order to inaugurate a few of the finished projects that were located around the FCT.
He said, “Mr President will not only inaugurate projects in the city. He will also visit at least one or two area councils so that the people will be happy that, yes, he identified with them.
“We are going to work that out. We can assure you that at least, he will go to Gwagwalada, Kwali, and Bwari. We are going to make sure that Mr President comes to identify with his people.”
The minister elaborated that the ongoing initiatives in satellite towns were in accordance with Tinubu’s directive that development should be pushed beyond the city center to rural areas and satellite towns. This directive encouraged the expansion of development beyond the city center.
“Today we have gone around to three satellite towns in three area councils.
“One is Gwagwalada where we are constructing the Market Road, the Aguma Palace Road and the Radio House Road, which will all be inaugurated by the grace of God, to celebrate Tinubu’s second anniversary.
“We went to A2 to Pai, a 15 kilometre road in Kwali Area Council. You can see how beautiful the road is.
“They have done about 13 kilometers of asphalt wearing course. The project will also be completed and handed over to us for Mr President’s second year in office.”
Speaking about Ushafa in Bwari area council, he said, “This A2 road connects to the War College and the community, showcasing our efforts to enhance connectivity between the satellite towns and the city.
“The contractor has assured us that everything will be completed before the President’s anniversary. This shows Mr. President’s commitment to developing the satellite towns, reducing travel time to the city and allowing residents to stay and work locally.
“We have fulfilled our financial obligations as promised. By the end of the month, they will receive further funding to ensure that our commitments are met, and we are very pleased with the progress.”
