The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has reaffirmed his commitment to developing the capital city through the provision of access roads. This commitment was made clear during the flag-off ceremony for the construction of an access road leading to the site of the new Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) academy in Giri District, Abuja.
According to Wike, the provision of access roads will have a positive impact on the development of the real estate sector, enhance access to markets for agricultural produce, and decongest the Abuja city center. He emphasized that some parts of the FCT have remained undeveloped due to the lack of access roads, but with the new road, development is expected to flourish.
Wike clarified that the road is not being constructed solely for the EFCC but rather to open up a part of the FCT where the new EFCC academy is located, making them a beneficiary of the road project. He noted that the community will also benefit from the road, as people will be able to build houses, and farmers will be able to bring their produce to the city.
The minister expressed his gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for providing the necessary funding and support for the FCT Administration. He assured the contractor that all necessary funds have been allocated and urged them to complete the project on schedule. The road is expected to be commissioned by May next year to mark the President’s second anniversary in office.
