The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has flagged off the construction and expansion of water supply networks in Bwari Area Council.

The minister assured Bwari residents that the federal government would not start and abandon the project.

He also assured them of President Bola Tinubu’s firm commitment to delivering potable water across Abuja’s satellite towns.

“This will not be an abandoned project. We will start and we will complete it.

“One thing you must give to the president is that, when he makes his promises, he always fulfils his promises.

“Today, we are in Bwari. Tomorrow, we will be in Karu,” he said.

Wike explained that, although the project was originally designed to run for 18 months, the federal government has secured the contractor’s commitment to complete it earlier.

He added that the President approved the release of 50 per cent of the total contract sum to CCGC Nigeria Limited to fast-track delivery.
