KIYI (Kuje, Abuja) Flowerbudnews): The Sarki of KIYI, an agrarian village in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Etsu Jibrin Shaba has commended FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike for what he described his ”unprecedented infrastructural achievements in the FCT ”.
Etsu Shaba, who was speaking in an exclusive interview with FLOWERBUDNEWS in his palace in KIYI on Friday particularly commended Minister Wike for ”his interest in opening up Abuja rural areas through provision of well-built roads in different parts of FCT interior and countrysides”.
”We have had many FCT Ministers before His Excellency, Barr. Wike. but I make bold with all sincerity, to say that Barr. Wike stands tall and far above his predecessors with his achievements among we, the indigenes of Abuja who are majorlly in the FCT rural areas.”
”You can see the incredibly beautiful work he is doing with the dualisation of our road running from our Area Council Headquarters, KUJE, passing through at least three villages of Chibiri, KIYI and Chukuku to link Gwangwalada,” Etsu Shaba stated.
”Let me tell you, for decades, we have been hearing about award of contracts for the construction of this very important road, but no serious work was ever done on it. Some will start, only to disappear after a while, ” the Monarch recalled.
” Then Minister Wike arrived on the scene and the narration changed. We saw contractors mobilised to site and work began in earnest, and the rest is there for all to see – a beautiful dualised carriage way gradually nearing completion,” Etsu Shaba stressed.
”What the Minister has done for us, we will never forget. Our people are very grateful to the Minister, and we urge him to continue to work hard and do more for our people,’: the Etsu said.
He also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for ”his respectable foresight in appointing a dedicated and hardworking Nigerian like Barr. Wike as FCT Minister,:: adding ” I personally urged the President to retain the Minister even beyond 2027′:.
The Monarch counselled the Minister to intensify his personal monitoring of ongoing road projects in the rural areas to ensure that contractors did not compromise the high quality and standard of the ongoing projects.
KIYI, a predominantly Gwari village is highly peaceful, accommodating to visitors and is privileged to house the second Tabligh Dawaah Morcas (Centre) in the federal Capital Territory (FCT). (FLOWERBUDNEWS)
