President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has committed over ₦300 billion to the development of the six area councils in the FCT.
The FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, stated this Wednesday, in Gwagwalada area council while commissioning the nine kilometers Paikon Kore – Ibwa road in Gwagwalada area council.
Wike said no government has committed so much resources and investment into FCT communities like President Tinubu.
He said in Gwagwalada area council alone, the government has committed ₦8.5 billion on the Paikon Kore Road, ₦22billion is being committed to the Aguma Palace – Market Road- FRCN Road.
This road, he said, would be commissioned in May during the second anniversary of Mr. President.
He said these show that President Tinubu is committed to the development of area councils and communities.
“Now, if you add the total value of what Mr. President has committed to Gwagwalada alone, you are talking about over N50 billion for one area council. Now, if you add the six area councils, just take this as the base because this is the least of all the area councils. So, you will see that in a year, Mr. President has committed to the development of satellite towns, not less than N300 billion.”
Apart from the roads construction, the administration is renovating five secondary schools in Gwagwalada – The School For The Gifted Gwagwalada, Government Secondary School Gwagwalada, GSS Anagada, GSS Tunga Maje, GSS Giri.
“The total value for these is N16.5 billion,” he said.
