The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has assured residents that major ongoing infrastructure projects across the territory will be completed and handed over by January 2027.
Wike gave the assurance yesterday after inspecting key road and bridge projects in Abuja.
He expressed optimism that the projects would be delivered before the next general elections.
The minister inspected the Inner Southern Expressway (ISEX), being constructed by CGC Nigeria Limited, and commended the contractor for the quality of work and its commitment to handing over the project by December 2026.
He also visited the Southern Parkway project at Gaduwa, where work on a second bridge was ongoing, before proceeding to the Nile University axis leading to Ring Road 3, being handled by CCECC.
Wike said he was satisfied with the pace of work and the commitments made by the contractors, expressing confidence that the projects would be delivered in line with the infrastructure development agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
On the Southern Parkway project, Wike said the contractor had attributed delays in commencing earthworks to heavy rainfall but remained committed to completing the project before the January 10 elections.
He added that CCECC had also pledged to hand over the Nile University Road project, linking to Ring Road 3, by the first week of January.
