The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has announced that President Bola Tinubu has sanctioned a nine-day timeline, termed “FCT Week,” dedicated to the inauguration of completed projects in Abuja. This event will commence on May 27, 2024.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During a final inspection of several ongoing projects on Friday, Wike revealed that the inauguration activities would kick off with the launch of the commercial operation of the Abuja Rail Mass Transit system. This marks a significant milestone in the capital’s transportation infrastructure, aimed at enhancing urban mobility and reducing traffic congestion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition to the rail system, other critical projects slated for inauguration include the official residence of the Vice President, a notable development that underscores the government’s commitment to providing top-tier facilities for its leaders. Also on the agenda is the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX), which extends from the Villa Roundabout to Ring Road 1, featuring four interchanges designed to improve traffic flow and connectivity within the city. Another significant infrastructure, the B6 and B12 Circle Road, will also be inaugurated, further expanding the city’s road network and easing transportation.<\/p>\n

Wike expressed satisfaction with the progress and quality of the projects, praising the contractors for adhering to the project timelines. He highlighted the FCT Administration’s role in ensuring timely project completion through consistent funding and support.<\/p>\n

“By the approval of Mr. President, we believe that from the 27th of this month, we shall start the inauguration of the various projects,” Wike stated. “Particularly on the 27th, we believe the President will flag off the commercial operation of the Abuja Metro line. We believe on Monday, we will do the final inspection of that. From what we have seen, I think we are good to go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
