Other projects slated for takeoff next month are the multi-billion naira official residence of the Vice President, the strategic Wuye flyover across Nnamdi Azikiwe Ring Road connecting Wuye District to the city centre through Olusegun Obasanjo Way and many other resurfaced, rehabilitated and completed projects.
Examples of his projects underway in the area councils include the FCT Highway 105, 11km six-lane dual carriageway linking the Airport Expressway to Kuje. This project has been hailed by many Abuja residents, especially those within the Kuje axis for its potential to open up a vast area. The 3.2 kilometer access road to Kwali town and the 11-kilometre Yangoji – Sukuku – Ebo roads also in Kwali area council are further instances.
In addition, Mr Wike recently flagged off rehabilitation of about 40 dilapidated public schools spread across the six area councils. For the average Abuja ‘indigene’ who may not afford the exorbitant fees charged by private schools, these public schools are of immense importance to them. Through programmes and policies like the scholarship scheme and the school rehabilitation programme, the minister succeeded in taking the wind out of the sail of many indigenous activists.
The minister is equally in no mood to tolerate mediocrity or any other obstacle on his way either. On 4 April, he terminated the contract of Messrs Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd for the management of the International Conference Centre, Abuja with immediate effect. He swiftly contracted Messrs Julius Berger Nig Plc to carry out immediate comprehensive renovation of the strategic centre.
Mr Sani wrote that “The FCT is undergoing visible and verifiable infrastructural changes and improvements in the Area Councils and the metropolis.The Minister is delivering on this mandate commendably.”
