President to personally inaugurate 10 projects as FCT undergoes historic infrastructure transformation
Abuja is set to experience an unprecedented wave of infrastructural development as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the commissioning of 17 landmark projects in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), beginning Tuesday, June 10, 2025, immediately after the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
The announcement was made by Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, during an inspection tour of ongoing projects in the capital on Wednesday.
Wike confirmed that the commissioning will begin with the International Conference Centre (ICC), describing the rollout as a significant milestone in the development of the nation’s capital.
“Mr. President has finally approved the commissioning of projects to start on the 10th of June, which is Tuesday, after the Sallah holiday. And that will start with the International Conference Centre. As you can see, we are good to go,” Wike said.
On Wednesday, June 11, attention will turn to the Gishiri Interchange, which connects key parts of the city including Jahi, Maitama, and Mabushi, highlighting the administration’s drive to enhance mobility and connectivity in the FCT.
Wike disclosed that President Tinubu will personally commission 10 of the 17 projects, while the remaining seven will be inaugurated by other senior government officials. These include:
- Vice President Kashim Shettima – 3 projects
- Senate President Godswill Akpabio – 2 projects
- Speaker Tajudeen Abbas – 2 projects
“We want to thank the President. It is not easy for him to give us 10 good days to commission these projects. This level of presidential involvement shows the importance of what we are doing here. Abuja is truly being transformed,” the minister stated.
Wike emphasized that the projects are part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, the national development initiative spearheaded by President Tinubu. He noted that residents, especially children, are already experiencing the benefits of enhanced infrastructure and urban planning.
“You can see the joy of the children, and they are all feeling the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda. All the promises we made, we’ve been able to accomplish them,” Wike added.
Describing the rollout as “unprecedented,” the minister praised the coordination and support from the Presidency and affirmed the FCT administration’s commitment to continued service delivery and urban transformation.
“We give God Almighty the glory and thank Mr. President for all his support,” Wike concluded.
As the capital braces for the historic 10-day commissioning period, residents can expect visible improvements across key sectors, reflecting the federal government’s renewed commitment to infrastructure, mobility, and quality of life in Abuja.
