4.2km Runway: FG Announces N825.8bn Compensation For Abuja Indigenes
FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, made the announcement on Tuesday after a negotiation meeting with the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, officials of both ministries, and representatives of their agencies as well as stakeholders from Jiwa, the affected community in Abuja.
The N825.8bn, according to the Minister, is to incentivise the residents to vacate the community and seek their cooperation towards the completion of the 4.2 km second Abuja runway project, originally awarded in 2022.
Additionally, Wike declared that the FCT will construct a 5km bridge in the Tunga Madaki community and provide modern health care facility expected to serve as a temporary resettlement site for the indigenes.
Furthermore, the FCT Minister charged the contractors to resume work, promising that the approved fund will be released from tomorrow (Wednesday).
The world finds enormous sums of money each year for often inefficient and environmentally damaging subsidies to agriculture, fishing, and fossil fuels. How much are we talking about? An enormous amount, it turns out.
