FCT Minister Refutes Access Denial Claims to Eagle Square
FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed allegations made by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that it was blocked from accessing Eagle Square.
Wike described the claims as 'unfounded' and 'attempts to gain public sympathy.' He emphasized that no formal application had been received from any of the parties raising the alarm and stressed that Eagle Square remains open to all groups as long as they follow due process and pay the required fees.
Minister Addresses Kugbo Bus Terminal Damage
Wike also addressed public concerns over the recent structural damage at the Kugbo Bus Terminal, caused by a windstorm. He clarified that while the roofing sheets were damaged, the structure itself remains sound. Repairs are already underway, and he urged the public to disregard the collapse narrative, stressing that no lives were lost.
On the infrastructure front, Wike expressed satisfaction with the pace of work across several project sites and announced firm completion timelines for road works and streetlights installation.
Wassa Artisan Site Progress
The minister was also at the Wassa artisan site, a purpose-built hub designed to permanently relocate mechanics and informal sector operators. Wike stated that government is working out the modalities for moving artisans into the new facility, attributing the overall pace of delivery across projects to a 'mutual commitment' between contractors and the government.
