Wike: Completed Apo-Karshi Road to Be Transformed into Tourist Attraction
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has announced plans to transform the completed Apo-Karshi Road into a tourist attraction as part of efforts to boost tourism and improve infrastructure in Abuja.
Wike made the disclosure on Wednesday while inspecting the road, which was originally awarded in 2010 but remained abandoned for several years without completion.
According to the minister, President Bola Tinubu ordered the termination of the initial contract after the indigenous contractor handling the project failed to deliver despite reportedly receiving full payment.
He said the completion of the road would not only improve connectivity but also create opportunities to enhance the area’s tourism potential.
