The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT),Mr. Nyesom Wike has assured that Abuja will compete with other mega cities of the world before President Bola Tinubu’s tenure ends.
Wike,stated this on Thursday, September 25, 2025, during the flag-off of the construction of Arterial Road N20 (Solomon Lar way) from Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo way) to the Airport Expressway (AEW), Abuja.
According to the minister, the development of Abuja is in line with the President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda mantra and assured that under his leadership, no sector will be left untouched.
“I don’t want a situation where you go to a site and then pull out from it. That will be very embarrassing. Once, you move to site, remain on the site until the job is completed.
”All of us will attest to the fact that under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, we can see that the narrative has changed and I want to assure the residents of Abuja that by the grace of God, before the first tenure of Mr. President, Abuja will compete with most mega cities in the world.
”That is a bank draft that I have given to you to go home with and continue to develop other areas, not only in the cities but the satellite areas.”
He added: ”Now we have also entered into the health sector. I have said that no sector will be left untouched. We will make sure every sector is given attention that is required.”
