The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says the 2027 elections would not affect the progress of projects in the territory.
He made the statement after inspecting some of the ongoing road projects in Abuja, on Wednesday.
Wike explained that despite increasing political activities he will continue to serve the people.
The Minister said making people happy shows that President Bola Tinubu Renewed Hope Agenda is real.
On some of the projects visited, Wike said the road linking Nile University and body of benchers if completed will aid free flow of traffic, including the old road that leads to EFCC.
”The work done there is very encouraging, by the end of May, they would have handed over that project. And it’s one of the projects we have for inauguration during Mr. President’s third year in office”
At the body of benchers extension building,Wike said, “The work is well done. It’s almost 80 percent completed. What is left there is landscaping. And then, the major roads, from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport down to Tungan Madaki, not less than seven kilometers.
“You have the main bridge which has about four span bridges. It’s quite encouraging. we are opening up other areas too.
”We came about this road when they were supposed to do the second runway. And for payment of compensation, the crops and the villagers demanded that they would agree whether it is for them to also be linked up to the cities. And that’s what we’re doing to fulfill the promise we made”
Asked on if the 2027 politics will affect his work, he replied, “how will politics affect my job? It’s different. You have to serve the people. Politics has its own time, and the work will continue. Politics isn’t going to affect me” Wike said.
