The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that his administration will not complete the abandoned Millennium Tower project in AbujaThe minister explained that the tower project had soared to between ₦300 billion and ₦400 billion, making it financially unviable for the FCT Administration to complete.
The minister revealed that he has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to step in, reconsider the complex as a strategic national project, and assume its funding.
He said, “Well, you know that’s a national project.
But we are still talking to the President that he should reconsider it as a national project.
Despite the setback posed by the massive cost of the Millennium Tower, Wike expressed strong satisfaction with the pace and quality of ongoing infrastructure development across the territory, particularly praising major construction firms handling critical corridors.
