The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nyesom Wike has made clarification over the construction of homes for Federal High Court Judges by the President Tinubu’s administration.
He noted that the construction of the homes was not intended to influence the judges but to facilitate the independence of the judiciary.
Wike pointed out that even the homes of National Assembly leaders are built and maintained by the FCDA, which does not influence them. He, therefore, stated that the provision of homes for judges follows the same intent.
The Minister also urged Nigerians to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Tinubu administration.
Wike noted that President Tinubu gave him the opportunity to serve as a Minister. He stated that the administration has changed the narrative in terms of development in the FCT.
He said, “People should commend Tinubu and the administration. What was the condition of the city and the rural areas before now? I thank God that Tinubu gave me the opportunity to contribute.
“Any time I visit a rural area, I feel very happy. Yesterday, I was in the Saburi Community—look at the happiness among the people.
“On the Dei Dei to Life Camp Road, I promised the people that as the Saburi Road is completed in December this year, the Dei Dei–Life Camp project would soon go through the BPP process.
“Just this morning, BPP sent me an approval, which I have forwarded to FEC for approval.
“In Bwari, Ushafa, Military College community, see the joy of the people when we flagged off their road project.”
Wike, however, stated that the government alone cannot handle everything.
On transportation, he mentioned that after completing the bus terminals, he would collaborate with the private sector. He noted that all private participants in the Abuja-painted taxis would be tracked as well.
