Wike look like Metro too much




Okay okay

Why does this country continue to pay foreign companies for construction projects in Nigeria
Am I missing something?
Are the engineering students or graduates in Nigeria not capable to do these constructions from start to finish
In 2024!!! 😶

Wike is actually working here in the FCT

Good job.. Reminds me of Metro in Istanbul, Turkey

Kudos mr Wike!

Abuja is finally getting the first completed train project

...after over 30 years of being a federal capital

Where's the Minister for State FCT?. I think he has relegated her.

Anyway I laugh in Swahili 😂😂😂😂

Building a railway hub at Abuja Airport is misplacement of priority by previous Govts, why not build it at Gwagwalada or Abaji, how many engers will disembark from an international flight and wait one hour for a train to take them to city centre when he can pay N7000 to ed taxi operators or Uber.
Meanwhile thousands of workers, traders and students commute daily from Abaji and Gwagwalada to the city and there is no railway terminus for them, the airport railway shouldn't have come first before the masses.

Wike has done well for ensuring that its completed despite the above points

Commendable, he should not forget to spend on improving the available hospitals and schools as well.

When he sidelined the FCT Senator from the scheme of things many were happy, now most people don't even know the name of the FCT Minister of State, Wike sees himself as Lord of the Manor, he doesn't believe in power sharing

Ask your messiah Jonathan why he didn't build the railway in abaji or gwagwalada

The project began long before Wike dreamt of becoming FCT minister, previous ministers abandoned it after billions have been pumped in, the least you can do is to appreciate the man who decided to save Nigeria those billions by reactivating the project. Have you seen the map of the entire Abuja metro line?

Pls mention other ministers of state of other ministries you know. FCT is not the only ministry with a minister of state, why single out Wike as the only one who relegated his minister of state?

I live in Gwagwalada and this project didn't benefit me, it didn't touch kubwa, lugbe , nyaynya nobody is benefiting from this total waste and I am sure it's substandard that is why they route it through zero populated areas

Man. This wike is doing well.

The educational institutions in Nigeria were NOT designed to solve problems of Nigeria but as 'photocopies of foreign bodies', thus graduates from Nigerian Universities often need to seek validations from UK, USA, Canada, before being considered truly educated.

Philip Aduda always with wike , bro has been relegated real bad .

Anytime I see Wike going to project sites I want to ask people like melagros who say Wike has bribed nairaland and who the only reply to every thread is "propaganda", what is Sim Fubara doing?

If you like, turn Abuja to Dubai, whenever you hold election, they will still vote Peter Obi.

Ndi ala😏

But he could not complete the monorail started by Amaechi, I wish Fubara can consider completing that project

All in the name of hating wike!

Now tell us the minister of state for FCT when El rufai was the minister

One thing I learnt from nairaland.unblockandhide.com is that HATE SWITCHES OFF LOGICAL AND OBJECTIVE REASONING!

They will not ask that question.

I mentioned it in the other thread that fighting a godfather is an achievement on its own in Nigeria. You are guaranteed 2nd time with pity votes!

Whenever you read fubara in front page of nairaland.unblockandhide.com just know its about fight with wike.No policy and No project.

Oga Wike, You are really doing well.
Even if some people claim say na only low density area the Train but Atleast you don complete this one, na to start those other area remain.

Bros, just continue to dey run things and show dem say na Mr Project be your name.

what can you do except type on nairaland?
Tell me!
Can you design the tunnel ventilations system that uses thermodynamics?

Do you know the normal , emergency and master operations of trains?

So you know how the dampers and louvres are regulated with the PLC for each shaft, station?

Let’s talk about the mechanical, electrical and etc.

So Mr. Graduate, what would you do except insult people on nairaland and make noise about your tribe.
