Residents of the Federal Capital Territory received a New Year message from FCT Minister Nyesom Wike on January 1, 2026, as he outlined plans, expectations, and priorities for the year ahead.
Wike said the message was directed at all residents of Abuja and the six area councils, appreciating their support in the past year and calling for continued cooperation to drive development across the territory.
According to him, the FCT Administration plans to deliver visible projects in key sectors including roads, schools, health facilities, transport hubs, security infrastructure, agriculture, and the judiciary, with several projects already lined up for commissioning during the year.
He linked the pace of development in the FCT to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, noting that growth had reached both the city centre and outlying councils such as Abaji, Kuje, and Kwali, while seeking further backing to expand ongoing works.
Wike noted that 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of the FCT, describing the milestone as a moment to reflect on unity, peaceful coexistence, and the vision behind Abuja’s founding.
He also pointed to upcoming area council elections and preparations toward the 2027 general elections, assuring residents that the FCT Administration would provide a safe and orderly environment for political activities while urging voters to act responsibly.
