Wike Says He Is Not Done Yet and More Projects Will Soon Start Across Abuja
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has assured residents of Abuja that more development projects are on the way, stressing that his work is far from over. Speaking at a media parley in Abuja, Wike explained that the Tinubu-led government inherited numerous challenges, but steps are being taken to address them.
He emphasized that the recent commissioning of projects was simply to mark the president’s second year in office, not a signal that the work is done. “There’s still a lot ahead,” he said. “We’re working on several roads like Pai to Gomani, Deidei, Kasana where the Renewed Hope Housing Estate is located, and we’re also pushing forward with the Court of Appeal division and Federal High Court justices’ quarters.”
Wike also mentioned road projects like the continuation of the N5 and N20, as well as ongoing efforts under the ‘Lit Up Abuja’ initiative, especially with the city’s 50th anniversary coming up next February. He added that school rehabilitation is also in progress, stressing that the workload is massive.
“I haven’t taken any break,” he said. “After 16 days of back-to-back commissioning, many wouldn’t have lasted.” Wike said the current government is working to fix problems that have lingered since 1999, but reminded Nigerians that it’s unrealistic to expect everything to be solved in just two years.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
