The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, says President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” is working for FCT residents.
Wike stated this in Abuja on Thursday, after inspecting ongoing projects in preparation for inauguration to celebrate the second anniversary of President Bola Tinubu.
One of the projects inspected is the ongoing construction of the left-wing service lane of the Outer Southern Expressway to Wassa Junction.
Others are the ongoing construction of interchange to connect Wole Soyinka way with Murtala Mohammed Expressway and the extension for Obafemi Awolowo Way (N5), from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III.
The minister expressed confidence that the projects were among those expected to be inaugurated to celebrate Tinubu’s second anniversary.

“We were at Wassa Junction, that’s on the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) leading to Wassa Junction.
“It is one of the roads we believe, by the grace of God, will be inaugurated by Mr President to celebrate his second year in office.
“We also went to the Northern Parkway interchange, where Gilmore is working, and they reassured us that by the grace of God, that interchange will also be inaugurated in May.
