Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has pledged that significant infrastructure projects in Abuja will be completed and handed over to the public by January 2027. During a recent inspection of various initiatives, Wike expressed confidence in the contractors' abilities and their adherence to project timelines.
Among the inspected projects were the Inner Southern Expressway (ISEX), being built by CGC Nigeria Limited, and the Southern Parkway at Gaduwa. Wike lauded the contractor's quality work and their commitment to completing the ISEX by December 2026. He also visited the section of Nile University Road leading to Ring Road 3, which is under construction by CCECC.
Wike highlighted the contractor's delays in earthworks due to heavy rainfall, but maintained that they were on track for completion before the January 10 general elections. CCECC had similarly committed to delivering the Nile University Road project by the first week of January. The Minister reiterated his satisfaction with the pace of work and the contractors' promises, projecting the projects' completion in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration's infrastructure development goals.
