The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has signed two Memoranda of Understanding with the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and the China Geo-Engineering Corporation Overseas Construction Group to enhance the lighting of the Federal Capital Territory and boost improved rural water supply.
The announcement was made in a statement issued to newsmen in Abuja on Sunday by the Director of Press in the Office of the FCT Minister, Anthony Ogunleye.
The MoUs were signed in Beijing, China, during Wike’s visit with President Bola Tinubu for the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Summit.
The statement added that the projects outlined in the MoUs are set to be completed in time for the 50th anniversary of the creation of the FCT.
The minister emphasised that these initiatives align with President Tinubu’s agenda to bring positive changes to the FCT.
Wike stated, “One key project that is very dear to us is the lighting up of Abuja. As Abuja will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, we envision it to be a jubilee year. We want Abuja to shine like other global cities, similar to the lighting we have seen in Beijing.”
