The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says all the area councils of the FCT will feel the impact of the President Tinubu-led administration.

Mr Wike gave the assurance at the inauguration of the construction of the 15.5-kilometre Pai-Gomani Road in Kwali Area Council of FCT on Tuesday.

He also said the Tinubu-led government was inclusive, assuring that everybody would participate and benefit from the dividend of democracy under the president.

The minister said Mr Tinubu did not appoint him minister to sell land in FCT but to improve its infrastructure.

“I took the position to support Mr President to improve the infrastructure of the FCT,” said Mr Wike. “That is why, every day, our concern is infrastructure, infrastructure, and infrastructure, be it in the city or in the rural areas.”

He said the communities from the expressway to Gomani were blessed with arable land for agricultural production.

The minister said the project, when completed, would boost agricultural production in the area.

Mr Wike, however, expressed displeasure over the manner in which the project was awarded.

He explained that the contract was awarded to connect Pai and Gomani, while the road from the Abuja-Lokoja Expressway (A2) to Pai was not awarded.

“Now, if you construct the road from Pia to Gomani, how do you come to Pai when that road is not motorable?

“Whoever is behind that, you are not being fair, and we cannot continue this way. The truth must be told at all times,” he said.

To address the issue, Mr Wike said he had called for a virement for some funds to construct the road from A2 to Pai as an emergency project.

He assured residents of the affected communities that the project would be completed, adding that no community would be left behind in Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.”

Earlier, the chairman of Kwali Area Council, Danladi Chiya, thanked the minister for all the support the area councils received in terms of infrastructural development.
