The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has said the contractors handling the Court of Appeal complex assured that the project would be completed by May, 2026.
He revealed that the judges’ quarters, including the Federal High Court section, had already been furnished.
Wike made the statement after a tour of some ongoing projects in the territory, on Thursday.
The Minister explained that the project comprises 10 duplexes for the Federal High Court, 20 duplexes for the FCT High Court and another 10 duplexes for the Court of Appeal, adding that the facilities would be inaugurated during the third anniversary of President Bola Tinubu in office.
In addition, the Minister said the FCT Administration will provide the necessary infrastructure in the newly opened Waru-Pozema District to enable residents and developers move in and begin development.
He said the administration would work with relevant agencies to see the possibility of providing basic infrastructure in the district, located in Cadastral Zone D16.
According to him, the FCT Administration will consult the Federal Capital Development Authority and other relevant departments to determine the next steps, including whether the project is captured in the 2026 budget.
“About the new district of Waru-Pozema in Cadastral Zone D16, we have to find out from the FCDA or the coordinator what they have in mind, whether it is in the 2026 budget,” he said. “Don’t worry, we will do everything we can to provide the needed infrastructure and open up the district so that people can move in.”
