The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday carried out some road inspections in the capital city.
Wike visited the Wuye District of the FCT where he was briefed about the project by the contractor handling it.
Addressing the minister, the Managing Director of Arab Contractors, Engr Mohamed Eldaros, said: “About 37 of the road network has been done with all the associated infrastructures. Apart from this interchange bridge, there are two locations of River bridges within Wuye.
“We have also technical substations providing light, the work is done and people are living there. There is telecom supply, water supply and all services are there.
“The road marking is what they are doing now which is the last aspect of the project.
“We have been able to achieve 60 percent and within 20 months, not up to two years we will be able to achieve the remaining 40 percent with the support of funds. We have been able to handover this critical point.”
In a similar vein, the minister also inspected the ongoing construction of the road linking airport road with Kuje Area Council.
The road which is a two-lane carriage way with subs, making it five lanes, is expected to be completed by June 2026.
“We can promise you that by June next year with the support we are receiving it will be completed, we are approaching the dry season now,” Eldaros said.
