The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has addressed concerns about the potential removal of properties along the road corridor in the nation’s capital.
Wike clarified that the government would adhere to proper procedures.
The minister made his feelings known in Abuja on Monday while addressing journalists shortly after an inspection visit to the Judges Quarters in Katampe District and the access roads, including the interchange at the RR1 and Shehu Shagari Expressway by N16.
He said: “Relocation and compensation will be handled according to due process. We will ensure that all affected residents are fairly compensated for any property acquired for the road project.”
The minister appealed to the community to cooperate and support the project, highlighting its significant benefits to the area.
“Imagine how it was and see how it is now. When it is finished with streetlights everywhere, it will benefit them,” Wike said.
When asked to evaluate his performance as minister so far, Wike said he is not in a position to do so.
“We have a presidential monitoring team, and they will evaluate our performance. But I am delighted with what the government has achieved in the FCT,” he said.
