In a bold and unapologetic move, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has issued a stern warning to politicians who are obstructing ongoing government projects in the region. Wike, known for his no-nonsense approach to governance, has made it clear that he will not tolerate any interference with projects that are aimed at serving the public interest.
During a recent inspection of ongoing road projects at Guzape Lot 2 and Roads B6 and D12, Wike expressed his frustration over the actions of a House of Representatives member who had reportedly ordered a stop to the project in the Guzape District of FCT for personal gain. The projects are being handled by reputable construction companies, Gilmour Construction and Julius Berger Construction.

Wike’s message was clear and direct: “We are not going to take it lightly. This is not a private project; it is a public project, handled by the Federal Capital Territory Administration. If there is any complaint, we think that whoever is responsible should complain to us and not go and use the police to stop a legitimate company from constructing work for the use of the public, which was approved by the Federal Executive Council.”
The Minister emphasized that his primary goal is to protect the public interest and ensure that government projects are completed for the benefit of the people, rather than catering to the selfish desires of politicians. He made it clear that he will not hesitate to take action against anyone who attempts to obstruct the progress of these vital infrastructure projects.
“We have directed the contractor to go back and make sure they don’t heed that so-called stoppage. They must go back and complete the work, which we are expecting that Mr President will commission in May,” Wike declared, sending a strong message that the projects will proceed as planned, despite any attempts to derail them.
