Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Prince Chibudom Nwuche, has lauded President Bola Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike, for the unprecedented scale and speed of infrastructural development across Abuja.
While commending Wike for his commitment and hands-on leadership style, he also hailed President Tinubu for availing the full support needed to execute impactful projects, noting that under the current administration, the nation’s capital city is “ truly back to life” and becoming a world-class city.
Nwuche, who spoke at the weekend after a tour of several completed and ongoing projects in communities within Bwari ,Gwagwalada and Kwali Area Councils of the FCT, expressed deep admiration for the quality and scope of work being carried out in less than two years.
In his words: “The level of work going on is just incredible in under two years. I’m quite amazed Abuja is becoming something else. It’s becoming a world-class city, and the developments cover both urban and rural areas.
“At Kwali, we saw vast farmlands, water bodies, and even natural resources like coal. Abuja has truly come back to life,” he said.
“We must commend the Minister for putting his heart into the job, and also commend the President for giving him the support required to achieve these feats. The quality of roads and other infrastructure is excellent you can see it for yourself”.
Furthermore, the former lawmaker while comparing current developments with past administrations, opined that Abuja could have been at an entirely different level if this pace of development had been sustained since the return to democracy in 1999.
He added that one thing is to provide infrastructure, but the dedication and results delivered by the current FCT Administration stand out as exceptional
“If we had been at this pace from 1999, Abuja would have long ago been much more developed than it is today. I’ve seen many ministers come and go, but this one has truly made a great impact on the capital.
“We’ve not only seen activity; we’ve seen transformation. The impact on rural communities, access roads, and public facilities is undeniable. This is what real leadership looks like”, Nwuche affirmed.
