Nyesom Wike Transforms Abuja's Infrastructure as FCT Minister
Nyesom Wike serves as the 17th Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, having previously been the governor of Rivers State for eight years. He is noted for his significant contributions to infrastructure development, earning the nickname 'Mr. Projects' from then-acting President Yemi Osinbajo during a visit in 2017.
As FCT minister, Wike is replicating his infrastructure initiatives in Abuja, focusing not only on the city center but also on the suburbs and far-flung communities that were previously neglected. He has established infrastructure footprints across all six area councils of the FCT: Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Kwali, and Abaji.
Wike's commitment to road construction has transformed the FCT, making it unrecognizable to both residents and visitors, as evidenced by anecdotes of individuals getting lost due to the rapid changes in the area.
