Wike Supports Indigenous Contractors After Karu Road Success

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, expressed support for indigenous contractors after the successful completion of the Karu road project. He disclosed that there was initial reluctance to award contracts to local firms due to past failures, but the current contractor, Abdul Val, fulfilled their promises despite delays in payment.

Wike emphasized the importance of assessing contractors' capacities before awarding contracts. He noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved the construction of roads within Karu town, fulfilling promises made to residents for improved infrastructure.

Wike acknowledged the administration's commitment to quality infrastructure and thanked President Tinubu for his continued support. The project, which was inaugurated as part of the administration's program, aims to ease traffic congestion and improve the quality of life for residents in the Karu, Nyanya, and Mararaba corridor, marking a significant achievement as the administration approaches its third anniversary.
