 FCT: Wike notifies Apo Mechanic Village traders on imminent relocation


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said that traders at the Apo Mechanic Village will have no choice but to relocate for the interests of the public.

Wike made the declaration during the inspection of the ongoing construction of the left-hand service carriageway of the OSEX from Ring Road 1 (Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway) to Wasa Junction on Tuesday.

The Apo Mechanic Village is located along the road corridor of the OSEX.

The minister assured that the committee on the relocation of the traders was doing its job to relocate them to a permanent site in Wasa in the overriding interest of the public.

He said the traders were already aware that the road project will pass through the area, adding that the FCTA was not envisaging any problem on the issue of relocating the traders.

“The committee is doing their work. You know that the road is going to pass through that area. So, that is not going to be a problem.

“We have told them that when we get to that point, they have no choice but to leave for the interest of everybody. It’s not for anybody’s particular interest. It’s for the public.

“It is the directive of Mr. President to see that all areas, not only the city but also in the satellite towns are all opened up with road infrastructure.

“You will not believe it now that all the roads we are doing in the satellite towns are going to be provided with solar street lights, which has never happened.

“So, it is wonderful, we are happy with what we are seeing and we are happy with what the contractors are doing. Indeed, the Renewed Hope Agenda is working, it’s a reality. People can see with their eyes. It’s not that you are told.”
