A former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Prince Chibudom Nwuche, has joined his voice in praising the support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike, for his uncommon efforts in bringing infrastructural development to Abuja, under the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President.
Nwuche stated this on Saturday after a tour of ongoing projects in communities in Gwagwalada, Kwali and Ushafa.
The former Legislator described Abuja as a “world-class city” , expressed amazement at the speed of transformative achievement in just two years of Wike’s administration.
He said, “The level of work going on is just incredible in under two years. I’m quite amazed Abuja is becoming something else. It’s becoming a world-class city, and the developments cover both urban and rural areas.”
Nwuche also noted that with the transformation of farmlands in Kwali, availability of water and fertile land, would secure Abuja as the city of food security.
He emphasized, “At Kwali, we saw vast farmlands, water bodies, and even natural resources like coal. Abuja has truly come back to life.”
Nwuche praised Mr. President for giving Wike the total support needed to execute such impactful projects in FCT, as he also commended him for his style of leadership.
He said, “We must commend the Minister for putting his heart into the job, and also commend the President for giving him the support required to achieve these feats. The quality of roads and other infrastructure is excellent. You can see it for yourself.”
Nwuche remarked that if the past administration had sustained on this pace of development since the return to democracy in 1999. Abuja would have attained a different level.
“If we had been at this pace from 1999, Abuja would have long ago been much more developed than it is today. I’ve seen many ministers come and go, but this one has truly made a great impact on the capital,” he said.
According to him, one thing is to provide infrastructure, but the dedication and results delivered by the current FCT Administration stand out as exceptional.
“We’ve not only seen activity; we’ve seen transformation. The impact on rural communities, access roads, and public facilities is undeniable. This is what real leadership looks like,” Nwuche emphasized.
Meanwhile, Wike has called on residents to toe the line of maintenance cilture by taking ownership of government infrastructure and protect public assets from vandalism, adding that partnership between the government and people is key to sustainable development.
