Wike Commends Abuja Projects: Judges Quarters Near Completion as FCT Infrastructure Push Gains Momentum

In Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has voiced strong approval of the pace and quality of work on several landmark projects, most notably the Judges Quarters in Katampe District.

His remarks came during an inspection tour on March 12, 2026, where he assessed progress at the Judges Quarters, the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal in Dakibiyu, Road CN2 in Katampe/Gishiri, and the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) carriageways.

The inspection was strategically timed to ensure contractors remain on schedule ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s third anniversary in office.

The Judges Quarters project, designed to provide modern housing for members of the judiciary, is nearing completion. It comprises 10 duplexes for the Federal High Court, 20 for the FCT High Court, and 10 for the Court of Appeal.

Wike revealed that the Federal High Court section is already being furnished, with the entire complex slated for inauguration during the President’s anniversary celebrations. Similarly, the Court of Appeal facility is expected to be handed over by May 2026, underscoring the government’s commitment to strengthening judicial infrastructure.

The Minister praised the construction firm CGC for its reliability and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) for its diligent supervision. He described CGC as a company whose word can be trusted, highlighting the importance of dependable partnerships in delivering critical infrastructure.

His comments reflected not only satisfaction with the physical progress but also confidence in the institutional oversight guiding these projects.

Beyond infrastructure, Wike addressed political matters, particularly developments within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He emphasized that genuine unity must precede reconciliation among party factions, noting that the PDP’s surprising success in the recent FCT council elections, securing 17 seats including Gwagwalada Area Council, demonstrates resilience. He pointed to the upcoming national convention as a decisive moment for the party’s future direction.

Wike’s motivation, he explained, is rooted in service and the unwavering support of President Tinubu. He stressed that representing the President in the FCT is a responsibility that demands total commitment, and that the President’s confidence in his leadership fuels his determination to transform Abuja into a model capital.
