FCT Projects: Wike Says Judiciary Will Receive No Preferential Treatment

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, dismissed allegations that his administration favoured the judiciary on Tuesday.

Wike said the FCT is supporting every sector in the capital, not just the courts.

The comments came after he inspected projects slated for commissioning ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s third‑year anniversary celebrations in Abuja.

“For the judiciary to be independent, you must provide the necessary infrastructure, welfare and working conditions,” Wike said. “It is not only about the judiciary. We are also providing water, schools and other basic needs for Nigerians.”

He added that the ongoing projects across the FCT demonstrate an inclusive development agenda, especially in rural and satellite communities that are now receiving infrastructure for the first time in decades.
