In a decisive move to strengthen security and create jobs, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), led by Minister Nyesom Wike, is nearing the completion of 12 divisional police stations and six-unit staff quarters across the six Area Councils of the FCT.<\/p>\n

The ambitious infrastructure push, now 70% complete, is set to transform security in the capital while offering economic relief through job creation for local artisans and security personnel.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Saburi project site in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), project architect Nuhu Musa revealed that construction, which began on November 19, is ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

“Though designed as a year-long project, we’re on track to finish in six months thanks to strong community support and workforce dedication,” Musa said.<\/p>\n

Engineer Ahmed Yahaya of Armodris Nigeria Limited, the project contractor, expressed satisfaction with the progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree months in, we\u2019ve recorded no incidents. This initiative has been a blessing for residents, who continuously commend the Minister\u2019s intervention,\u201d Yahaya noted.<\/p>\n

For locals like Prince Yahaya Mohammed, a Saburi resident and project supervisor, the benefits extend beyond security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project has provided stable incomes for many here. We\u2019re hopeful Saburi youths will be prioritized in future police recruitment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Village Head of Saburi, Alhaji Muhammad Yamawo, praised the dual impact of improved security infrastructure and road development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Saburi-Dei Dei road has eased our struggles and allowed better police patrol coverage, enhancing safety,\u201d Yamawo said.<\/p>\n

FCTA\u2019s Director of Security Services, Adamu Gwari, emphasized that the project reflects Wike\u2019s strategic vision for a safer FCT.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally planned for nine stations, three additional facilities were approved to ensure every Area Council receives two stations,\u201d Gwari explained.<\/p>\n

The initiative is already yielding results, with crime rates reportedly on a steady decline since the project\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n

As the completion date nears, residents and stakeholders eagerly await the positive transformation, cementing Wike\u2019s reputation as a leader committed to action and results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
