Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has applauded the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike for providing exceptional leadership at a trying time for the country.

Tinubu who hailed the Minister at the inauguration of engineering infrastructure in Guzape District Lot II, Abuja on Saturday said to Wike, “You have demonstrated capacity to build a team, lead a team, and deliver on promises. I commend you, well done”.

According to the President, “It has been a very challenging time for us in the country. We are still retooling and rejigging our financial system to bring prosperity and relief to the people of this country.

“To all of you here, to the District Head of Guzape, and the representatives, litigation is not the answer. Compensation is the answer. Development that is focused on the people for economic prosperity and benefits is what we should pursue.

“Of what value is a swathe of land that is blocked by hills and rocks, and that is inaccessible. Let us talk to our people and come together to help build Nigeria,” Nigerian leader said.

Tinubu noted that his administration is prioritizing people-focused development by providing essential infrastructure, amenities that will improve the quality of life of citizens.

In his remarks, the Minister of FCT, Barrister Nyesom Wike, explained that the contract initially awarded in 2003 at the cost of N14 billion was divided into Lots 1 and 2 to Messrs Dantata & Sawoe Construction Company Nigeria Limited and Messrs Gilmor Engineering Limited.
“Dantata had left the site for long. We had to bring them back after the President approved a memorandum to that effect,” Barrister Wike said.

The Minister disclosed that the development of the district, which covers 32km of road, had been fraught with litigations, which, however, did not deter the progress of the project.

He said shortly before the present administration assumed office, the cost of the project was revised to N18.17 billion, according to the statement released by the President’s aide.

Barrister Wike commended the President for not abandoning the project owing to his belief in government as a continuum.

“Since I assumed office as FCT Minister in August 2023, you have never interfered with our work. We are sincerely happy that you gave us the free hand to work,” he said.

The FCT Minister, who appealed to the President to name major roads in Guzape District after literary giants, Chinua Achebe and JP Clark, hinted that the ‘diplomatic area’ in the district will be completed within one year.

In a project overview, the Executive Secretary, FCDA, Engr. Shehu Hadi Ahmad said the area being developed, Guzape District Lot II, is an urban fringe area covering 620 hectares, with 129 hectares encumbered by village settlements.

He said the entire district, Lot 1 and Lot 2, was designed to provide residential, commercial, and recreational facilities covering an entire area of 1,070 hectares of land.

“The Lot 1 area covers an area of 450 hectares, whereas the Lot 2 covers 620 hectares,” the FCDA Executive Secretary said.
