By DAVID IORJA , Abuja-

President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated several projects in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), declaring that the era of empty promises and abandoned projects is over.

Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu said his administration is committed to bridging the gap between promise and performance.

“We are not just building infrastructure; we are building confidence and governance,” Tinubu emphasized, highlighting the significance of the projects. The newly rehabilitated Aguma Palace, Radio Nigeria, and New Market Road in Gwagwalada are expected to improve the lives of residents and boost economic activity in the area.

The projects, nominated by the people of Gwagwalada, demonstrate the administration’s commitment to community participation in governance.

“This is the kind of democracy we believe in; one that listens, one that responds, and one that delivers,” Tinubu said.

The President praised Wike’s efforts, describing him as a key driver of development in the FCT. Tinubu reiterated his administration’s commitment to creating an enabling environment for businesses to grow, families to thrive, and communities to prosper.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, who oversaw the project, thanked Tinubu for supporting the FCT Administration to deliver life-impacting projects in satellite towns.

“The road had completely collapsed and the people were suffering,” Wike recalled, adding that the project was a testament to the administration’s dedication to inclusive governance.

The FCT Minister of State, Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, commended the President for supporting the FCT Administration to deliver life-impacting projects in satellite towns.

“The inauguration of this road is a demonstration of our dedication to inclusive governance and infrastructure renewal in both urban and rural communities,” Mahmoud said.
