Wike Praises Tinubu, Says No President Has Equaled His FCT Road Projects

According to Ireporter Online, Wike made the remarks on Friday during the commissioning of access roads to the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates in Karsana West District of Abuja, an event held in commemoration of President Tinubu’s third year in office.

The Minister maintained that no previous administration in Nigeria’s history had matched the level of road infrastructure development currently being recorded in the FCT, adding that even satellite towns are now witnessing significant government presence.

Wike also aligned himself with comments credited to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, who had earlier praised Tinubu’s infrastructural efforts, particularly in Abuja and surrounding districts.

He noted that the transformation being witnessed in previously underdeveloped areas such as Karsana District reflects a renewed commitment to extending governance and infrastructure beyond the city centre.

“Even if you said the whole Nigeria, you are right, but your comment centered on the FCT where you were carrying out your assignment yesterday to talk about Mr President,” Wike said, while emphasizing the scale of ongoing development.

The FCT Minister further argued that satellite towns, which had long suffered neglect, are now experiencing visible governance and infrastructural attention under the current administration.

“Let anybody come out to say if the satellite towns have known governance before like this. Nobody knew about this Karsana district, but today see where we are,” he added, stressing that the progress achieved should be defended with continued action.
