The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, stated on Wednesday that President Bola Tinubu is the first Nigerian leader to tour the satellite towns surrounding Abuja.

According to Wike, since taking office, Tinubu has made efforts to connect with residents in the rural parts of the FCT.

He made this remark during the official opening of the newly expanded and improved Ushafa to War College/Army Checkpoint Roads, along with additional linked roads, located in the Bwari Area Council.

The commissioning of the project was carried out by Vice President Kashim Shettima on behalf of the President.

He said: “This is the first time a sitting president would go to the satellite towns to identify with them, to let the people in the satellite town know that as we are doing in the city so also we will care for you.

“Mr President was personally in Kwali, today you have come here and on Friday, you will be in Gwagwalada.

“Last week Friday Speaker represented the president in commissioning the Kabusa-Ketti road. This has never happened and this shows the love you have for the satellite town residents.”

The Minister further commended the president for fulfilling his promises of commissioning projects in the rural areas.

He added: “When we wanted to start this, I met Mr President to say it will be more appreciative if you make out time to visit the rural area and Mr President said we will not only come one but we will come 1,2, 3, and you have fulfilled it.

“I want to sincerely thank you, you have even surpassed it; by Friday, it will be the fourth time.”
