Why I’m having sleepless nights – Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says he has been losing sleep over the need to carry out key road projects in Karu and its surrounding areas.
The minister made the remark during the flag-off of the reconstruction and dualisation of Karu Road, from Karu Interchange to Customs Clinic Junction, along with other township roads.
Wike explained that local leaders, including AMAC Chairman Christopher Maikalangu and former FCT Senator Philip Aduda, have been urging him to expand development work to benefit residents.
He said delivering projects for the people is about building relationships, not titles or formalities.
He announced plans to rebuild Customs Clinic Junction to CBN Quarter Junction, extend works to EFCC, and refurbish NIA Quarters Road, Pasi Road, and Primus Hospital Road.
Wike added that streetlights will be installed and the contractor has ten months to complete the projects, which are expected to boost business and economic activity.
The minister also encouraged residents to remember the contributions of local leaders when voting in future elections, noting Maikalangu’s role in pushing for these improvements.
