The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) will begin inauguration of strategic infrastructural projects across the territory on Tuesday to celebrate President Bola Tinubu third year in office.
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, who disclosed this after he inspected some of the completed projects in Abuja on Monday, said that the inauguration would last for 31 days
Wike said that the inauguration would begin with the two main carriageways of the Outer Southern Expressway, from Ring Road I Junction to Ring Road II Junction.
He disclosed that Tinubu would personally inaugurate the project, followed by Arterial Road N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way), from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III on Wednesday.
He added that President Tinubu would also inaugurate FCT Highway 105, from Airport Expressway to Kuje on Thursday.
The minister further said that Judges’ Quarters for Court of Appeal Judges in Katampe, constructed by a local contractor would be inaugurated on Friday.
He commended the various contractors for delivering the projects within agreed timelines.
“Above all, we are very happy that the residents are also happy,” he said.
Wike said that key leaders in the Tinubu-led administration would take turns to inaugurate the more than 30 projects across the territory, including those in satellite towns from June 9 to the third week of July.
“I want to say that this is my happiest moment and one of the very happy moments of this administration.
“The credit has nothing to do with me but Mr President, who has given the directive and the support for us to go this far,” the minister said.
