Wike Critiques Mark's Infrastructure Record, Backs Tinubu

On Thursday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, criticized former Senate President David Mark's record on infrastructure development, arguing that President Bola Tinubu's administration has delivered significant road projects within three years. Wike made these remarks during the commissioning of the Jahi-Gwarimpa interchange in Abuja, which was attended by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

He pointed out that despite Mark's eight-year tenure, roads such as the Akwanga-Makurdi road remained in poor condition, making travel difficult for residents. Wike noted that Mark often relied on helicopters for travel due to the state of the roads.

He asserted that Tinubu's administration is committed to completing projects initiated by previous administrations rather than abandoning them, highlighting the importance of road infrastructure for societal development. Wike also mentioned ongoing investments in water infrastructure across satellite towns in the Federal Capital Territory, including a major water supply project in Bwari inaugurated on July 14.
