The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that not fewer than 20 projects would be ready for inauguration ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s third year anniversary celebration in Abuja.
Wike added that the figure could rise as some projects were still being finalised.
The minister made this known after inspecting six out of the projects in Abuja on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.
“I said not less than 20 projects, but it may even be more than 20 because I did not include the water projects at Bwari and Karu. There are also projects in AMAC and Bwari Area Councils,” he said.
Wike listed additional road projects including Gomani to Yangoji and Kuje to Gwagwalada Road, stressing that the spread of infrastructure across satellite towns marked a new phase of development in the FCT.
“I think it will be interesting for the public to see governance in action. I wonder where the opposition or coalition members are. They should come and see what is happening in the FCT,” he added.

The minister said works at the Abuja’s Appeal Court Complex in Dakibiyu, Judges Quarters in Katampe, Katampe district internal roads, new location for the Apo Mechanic Village, and other projects had reached advanced stages, adding that the administration remained committed to inclusive development and improved welfare for residents.
Wike said: “At the informal sector site where Apo Mechanic Village traders will be relocated to, the roads and streetlights are already completed. What is remaining now is water connection.
“I also came with security officials so they can commence work on the police station and police residential quarters.”
He maintained that ongoing projects across the FCT reflected an inclusive development agenda, particularly in rural and satellite communities, which he said were now benefiting from infrastructure for the first time in decades.
