Wike: 70% of FCT Projects Completed Were Left Abandoned for 16 Years

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike, has revealed that about 70% of the infrastructure works finished under President Tinubu’s administration were contracts awarded 15 to 16 years ago but left incomplete. Speaking at his monthly media forum in Abuja, Wike said the president instructed that no viable government project should be abandoned. He explained that the FCT Administration prioritised reviving inherited projects before launching new ones to avoid wasting public resources and to deliver critical infrastructure to residents. While overseeing the completion of those old works, the minister noted, the administration also initiated new road and infrastructure projects across Abuja and its satellite towns. He credited President Tinubu’s decision to remove the FCT Administration from the Treasury Single Account for making funds more accessible and accelerating development. Wike affirmed that the FCT Administration will continue executing projects aimed at improving transport networks, opening up new districts, and enhancing the quality of life for residents of the nation’s capital.
