Wike Partners with Chinese Firms to Illuminate Abuja with Solar Power

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has outlined ambitious plans to enhance the nation’s capital by improving its power infrastructure through solar energy.
During a significant event, Wike signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with two major Chinese companies, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and the China Geo-Engineering Corporation Overseas Construction Group (CGCOC).
This collaboration aims to “light up” Abuja with solar power, marking a substantial shift toward sustainable energy.
Wike emphasized the importance of this project to his administration, highlighting that the capital city, Abuja, will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.
He expressed his determination to elevate Abuja to the standards of other global capital cities, both in infrastructure and aesthetics.
The project, which focuses on solar-powered lighting, reflects his vision for a modern, eco-friendly city that serves as a model for the rest of the nation.
Additionally, the minister praised the efforts of CCECC for their role in the successful commercial operation of the Abuja Metro line, which was a notable achievement during the first year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
This milestone, Wike said, is a testament to the collaboration between the government and private contractors in driving the city’s development.
Wike also urged the CGCOC to expedite the solar lighting project, stressing the importance of timely execution.
He reiterated his administration’s commitment to completing key infrastructure projects within a reasonable timeframe, ensuring that the capital city remains a beacon of progress in Nigeria.
Representatives from the two Chinese corporations, Mr. Chen Sichang, President of CCECC, and Mr. Lan Meizhong, Chairman of CGCOC, expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the transformation of Abuja.
Both leaders assured the minister of their dedication to delivering high-quality work within the agreed timelines, acknowledging the trust placed in them to bring Wike’s vision to life.
The project to light up Abuja is expected to greatly enhance the city’s nighttime visibility and security, contributing to its modernization and positioning it alongside other global capitals.
As Wike works to solidify his legacy as a transformative leader, this solar project could become one of the defining initiatives of his administration.

Tinubu Says Ending Fuel Subsidies And Fixing Taxes Are Helping Nigeria

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.
Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.
Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.
On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.
The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Tinubu Promises Stronger Security and More Support for Nigerians

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.
Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.
