Wike Flags Off Major Abuja Road Project, Vows Capital Will Rival Global Cities by 2027

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has flagged off a major road project in Abuja, expressing confidence that by the end of President Bola Tinubu’s first tenure, the capital city will rival some of the world’s most developed cities in terms of infrastructure and urban planning.
The project, according to the FCT Administration, will ease traffic congestion, enhance inter-district connectivity, and create job opportunities, in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Following the flag-off, Wike inspected the construction projects at the Ape Court Complex and the Judges’ Quarters in Gishiri District, where he expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work, urging contractors to meet deadlines and maintain high standards.

The projects, including residential units for the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Federal High Court judges, are expected to be completed and handed over by January 2026.
