– Judges’ Quarters: Official residences for heads of the Court of Appeal, Federal High Court, FCT High Court, and National Industrial Court

– Second Abuja Airport Runway: A new runway to enhance air travel infrastructure
Wike emphasized that no sector will be left untouched in the development drive, with a focus on:
– Infrastructure: Roads, bridges, and public transportation
– Healthcare: Upgrading medical facilities and services
– Education: Improving schools and educational institutions
– Youth Empowerment: Providing opportunities for young people to grow and develop
The minister assured residents that the government is committed to delivering on its promises, with a focus on transparency and accountability.
