Nyesom Wike\u2019s expertise.<\/p>\n<p>He praised the FCT Minister for the speed of infrastructural development across Abuja, describing the city as \u201ccoming back to life\u201d under the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>He said this on Saturday after a tour of several completed and ongoing projects in Gwagwalada, Kwali, and surrounding communities. Nwuche expressed deep admiration for the quality and scope of work being carried out in less than two years.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe level of work going on is just incredible in under two years. I\u2019m quite amazed Abuja is becoming something else. It\u2019s becoming a world-class city, and the developments cover both urban and rural areas,\u201d Nwuche stated.<\/p>\n<p>He was particularly proud of the level of work a done, including the transformation of farmlands in Kwali, noting the availability of water and fertile land, which he said align perfectly with the FCT\u2019s emerging role in ensuring food security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Kwali, we saw vast farmlands, water bodies, and even natural resources like coal. Abuja has truly come back to life,\u201d Nwuche said.<\/p>\n<p>While commending Wike\u2019s head-on leadership style, he also praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for giving the minister the full support needed to execute such impactful projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must commend the Minister for putting his heart into the job, and also commend the President for giving him the support required to achieve these feats.<\/p>\n<p>Comparing the current developments with past administrations, the former lawmaker remarked that Abuja could have been at an entirely different level if this pace of development had been sustained since the return to democracy in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we had been at this pace from 1999, Abuja would have long ago been much more developed than it is today. I\u2019ve seen many ministers come and go, but this one has truly made a great impact on the capital,\u201d Nwuche said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve not only seen activity; we\u2019ve seen transformation. The impact on rural communities, access roads, and public facilities is undeniable. This is what real leadership looks like,\u201d Nwuche affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>The former deputy speaker\u2019s comments come after Barrister Nyesom Wike\u2019s call on citizens to protect infrastructures for sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
