The Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) today conducted an extensive inspection of ongoing projects across the FCT, all slated for commissioning in May to commemorate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second anniversary in office.

The inspection covered the rehabilitation of the International Conference Centre (ICC), the development of Arterial Road N20 (Wole Soyinka Way) and its interchanges, and the Arterial Road N16 and access roads to the Judges Quarters in Katampe District. The Minister expressed profound satisfaction with the progress and quality of work observed across all sites.

He conveyed confidence in the timely completion of the ICC rehabilitation by Julius Berger, anticipating its re-opening by May. The FCT Minister also emphasized the economic significance of the ICC’s rehabilitation, outlining plans for its sustainable operation and management.

Adressing the previous state of disrepair, the Minister stressed the commitment to a robust maintenance contract with Julius Berger post-rehabilitation, ensuring the facility’s long-term upkeep and economic viability.

He said, “What we're trying to do now is that it's no longer going to be business as usual. You know what happened the last time that it was given out to one Senator who was making money and tried to destroy that edifice. When we finish the rehabilitation, we are going to have a maintenance contract with Julius Berger where we will pay them and they will be maintaining the place".

Similarly, the FCT Minister noted the positive progress on the Arterial Road N20 interchanges being undertaken by Gilmor, and the connecting roads to the Judges Quarters in Katampe by CGC, expecting their inauguration during the anniversary period.

Additionally, he announced the planned commissioning of satellite town road projects in Kwali, Gwagwalada, and Bwari Area Councils.

The Minister addressed funding concerns for the ongoing projects, confirming the utilization of the 2024 budget and the submission of the 2025 budget to the National Assembly which will ensure continued financial for these initiatives.

"I have sent our 2025 budget as approved by the FCT Executive Committee and we will know by today or tomorrow if Mr President will have transmitted our 2025 budget to the National Assembly. Already the 2024 budget will expire in June and so the funds we have for these projects in 2024 are still being used and by the time the 2025 budget is ed we know that we won’t have problems of funding", the Minister explained.

He assured that the FCT istration is prepared to address any potential challenges to ensure the projects' successful completion and inauguration.

All I see here is fubara's ordeal

All the projects are Wike's legacy projects.

It’s not just about FCT, it should be about the country at large.

I won't be surprised if everything Tinubu did in Rivers was to clip Wike's wing.

It will become clearer in the next 12 months
