The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has flagged off the construction of an essential access road and bridge designed to link the Body of Benchers with the Nile University area within the Institution and Research District in Abuja.

Speaking during the flag-off recently, Wike noted that the road project extends beyond the legal body, emphasizing that Nile University and Baze University will be the greatest beneficiaries due to the high volume of daily traffic from the two private institutions. 

The Minister said, “The greatest beneficiaries of this project is not just the Body of Benchers but these two private institutions that are here. “I hope these private institutions… also recognize that the government is also doing something that has positively affected our universities. If you begin to say that, then you are a good citizen.”

 The minister pledged to ensure the timely completion of the road within a six-month schedule, guaranteeing that necessary funding will be made available to the contractor.
