What happened
The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, stated that since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, the administration had awarded a total of 317 kilometres of roads in FCT satellite towns. Of this total, Wike reported that 221 kilometres were fully completed, with 96 kilometres still ongoing. Separately, a 15-kilometre road project in the Karu corridor of the FCT was completed, which residents said had improved local business activities. Furthermore, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development began collaborating with the Chartered Institute of Project Managers of Nigeria (CIPMN) to enhance project management in the housing sector.
Why it matters

The collaboration between the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and CIPMN aims to professionalize project management within the housing sector.
