Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has flagged off the reconstruction of the 25km Kwaita-Yebu road in Kwali Area Council of the FCT.
The flag-off event, which took place at the project site in Kwaita, attracted a mammoth crowd of residents of Kwaita who came out to witness the event.
Speaking, Wike urged FCT residents to have hope in the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who, he said, has come to renew the lost hope of all Nigerians.
“All of you have lost hope as far as this road is concerned. You never believed that any government would come back to this road because of the disappointments you had before. That is why Mr President said he wants to bring back the hope that you have lost. By the grace of God, that hope is back,” he said.
He also assured the residents that the road project would be completed, as with all projects initiated by the FCTA, adding that the FCTA would not embark on projects it would not complete.
