Federal Capital Territory Minister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike has assured residents that the Apo-Karshi and Bwari-Kubwa roads will be completed by December and opened for use. The Minister made this announcement in Abuja on Thursday, September 24, 2026, during an on-site inspection of infrastructure projects in FCT satellite towns. Despite the Apo-Karshi road contract being awarded in 2010 and stalled under a previous administration, the current administration has revoked and re-awarded it.
The contractor has assured that the road will be handed over by November this year. Wike expressed his happiness at the progress of the Apo Karshi road, emphasizing its significance. He also visited Bwari, where he witnessed large crowds of excited residents during the inspection. The Bwari-Kubwa road contractor, SCC, has stated that they will complete the project by the end of this year, despite facing delays due to heavy rainfall.
Wike commended the Federal Government for expanding development beyond the city center to satellite towns, noting that more than ten projects will be commissioned in the FCT before the next elections, surpassing the initial pledge of only ten projects.
