Abuja, Nigeria — The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, announced on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, that at least 20 infrastructure projects are prepared for commissioning to coincide with the second anniversary of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Okay News reports that Nyesom Wike expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress would achieve better electoral results in the Federal Capital Territory in 2027 due to the expansion of government projects into satellite towns and rural communities.
Nyesom Wike stated that the number of projects ready for inauguration could exceed 20 as officials finalize work on additional water, road, and utility developments. “What the people want is simple — they want to feel the impact of governance. It is not about magic. Nigerians are interested in good governance, infrastructure, electricity and improved living conditions,” he said.
The minister conducted an inspection on Tuesday of several sites, including the Appeal Court Complex rehabilitation in Dakibiyu, residential quarters for judges in Katampe, and the relocation site for the Apo Mechanic Village. Nyesom Wike noted that the Dakibiyu site was approximately 70 per cent complete, while internal road projects and street lighting installations were nearing conclusion in other districts.
Regarding the development of the Apo relocation site, Nyesom Wike confirmed that roads and lighting are finished, and security officials have been instructed to begin the construction of a police station and residential quarters. “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 said.
On the focus regarding judicial infrastructure, the minister denied that the sector received preferential treatment. “For the judiciary to be independent, you must provide the necessary infrastructure, welfare and working conditions. It is not only about the judiciary. We are also providing water, schools and other basic needs for Nigerians,” he said.
“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.
