The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, has said most of the rural roads being constructed across the six area councils of the FCT are ready for inauguration in January.

Wike stated this after he inspected the ongoing construction Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX), Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal and Saburi – Dei Dei road, in Abuja on Tuesday.

He recalled that the contractor executing the Saburi road had promised to deliver the project in December.

“To the glory of God, we have gone round and we have seen that the project has been completed. So also is the one in Abaji and other projects in the other area councils.

“So far, only one is about 95 per cent complete, the other ones have been completed.

“So, we believe by the grace of God, that we will be able to commission these projects this January,” he said.

The minister also assured that the contractor executing the OSEX from Apo roundabout to Ring Road II junction would hand over the project in May 2025.

He equally expressed optimism that the ongoing construction of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal would be completed in September. (NAN)
