The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday disclosed that the good road infrastructure in Abuja is attracting foreign investors to the capital city.
Wike said investors are willing to build the Abuja City Walk, a replication of Dubai City Walk.
He disclosed this while flagging off the construction of the Transit Way, N2, to connect the Central Area to Wuse with two bridges.
Wike also asserted that there is no development in any city without good road networks.
“We will have so many projects to show case in the third year of Mr President and I believe that this is one of them. We have said severally and would continue to say that there is no development in any city without good network of roads.
“When all the cities are linked with good road networks, then you talk about that city becoming a modern city, then you talk about development in that city.
“Road infrastructure attracts investment and we have bona fide investors from Dubai who want to build Abuja city walk.
“If the infrastructures are not there they won’t come, but because they saw the infrastructure revolution in Abuja, they said they would replicate Dubai city walk in what we will have as Abuja city walk,” the minister said.
