FINISH THEM ALL! Wike Issues Orders To Security Officials, Tells Them To End Lives Of These Set Of People
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has reiterated his commitment to combating insecurity and reducing the cost of living in Abuja. Speaking on Tuesday during the flag- off of the 9. 8km Kabusa- Takushara road construction, Wike assured residents that restoring safety would allow farmers to return to their lands, reducing hunger and economic hardship caused by banditry.
The minister emphasized that infrastructure development is crucial to tackling insecurity and fostering economic growth. The road project, a 2- lane, 7- meter- wide carriageway with solar- powered streetlights and shoulders, is expected to be completed within six months. Wike noted that improved road networks would enhance security agencies’ response times and provide residents with a sense of hope.
” Without roads, if someone comes to attack you, can security agencies come down immediately? No. So, we have started. Every problem cannot be solved at the same time, but there is hope, ” he stated.
Wike linked the current hunger crisis to insecurity, explaining that kidnappers and bandits have forced many farmers to abandon their fields. He vowed to intensify efforts against these criminals, declaring, ” We are going to show them pepper. Don’ t worry; hope has come back. ”
The minister urged Abuja residents to trust in President Bola Tinubu’ s administration, assuring them that government promises would be fulfilled. He highlighted the president’ s commitment to ensuring that satellite towns receive development projects, emphasizing that the Kabusa- Takushara road is part of broader efforts to address the needs of suburban communities.
” One of the promises the president made is that development will not be restricted to the city but will extend to satellite towns. Constructing roads and providing streetlights are part of this promise, ” Wike said, pledging to commission the project within seven months.
During the event, Wike also cautioned school administrators against exposing students to harsh conditions during official visits. He expressed concern over children being lined up in the sun for receptions, insisting that FCT students should not be subjected to such energy- draining activities.
In response to observed inadequacies, Wike directed an immediate upgrade of facilities at a local secondary school hosting construction equipment. This move reflects his administration’ s commitment to improving education infrastructure in tandem with ongoing development projects.
Wike further urged residents to hold past and present leaders accountable, questioning those who previously ignored the needs of Kabusa- Takushara. ” When they come, ask them: when they were there, did they remember Kabusa- Takushara or Kabusa- Ketti? ” he challenged.
The minister’ s decisive approach signals a renewed focus on infrastructure and security as foundations for economic recovery and improved living standards in the FCT. With ongoing efforts to address these critical issues, residents are hopeful for a brighter future under the current administration.
