He mentioned that over 200 people in areas like Kwali are benefiting from infrastructure projects, asserting that these are not government jobs but real work opportunities.
On the issue of streetlights, Wike confirmed that areas like Kuje and Kwali would have streetlights installed.
He assured that new roads flagged off would have lights by mid-year.
In his commitment to efficient land administration, Wike announced that his team has issued 7,000 Certificates of Occupancy in two years, surpassing the previous government’s efforts.
He warned officials against inefficiency and promised to remove any unproductive staff.
Wike also addressed the growing issue of vandalism in Abuja, particularly attacks on the power supply. He declared that those involved in damaging transmission lines and cables would be charged with economic sabotage.
The power outages have severely affected parts of the city, leaving over 60% without electricity. Wike urged residents to report suspicious activities to help tackle these disruptions.
