Abuja, Nigeria – E be like say Abuja go soon balance like Dubai as FCTA don sign MoU with MAG International Links Ltd to develop City Walk Abuja. Dis land go cover 200 hectares, and if you sabi Dubai City Walk, then you fit guess wetin dem dey plan. Dis affair happen for Abuja on Wednesday, as e report dem for News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, no fit hide him excitement as he talk say dis project go be flagship for Abuja to attract private investors and create job opportunities for we people. Na so we fit dey earn money, no be to just dey hustle for road dey sell suya.
According to Wike, City Walk Abuja go no just dey ground, but go package residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, and retail all together for one area wey go dey easy for pipo to waka around (talk about town planning!). Dis project go dey along Airport Road, where dem don abandon Abuja Technology Village for more than 20 years. Na wetin dem dey call under-utilized resources!
Comot my eye, Wike don hammer am say MAG don submit their drawings, and dem don approve am. E don even mention say dem Certificate of Occupancy dey ready. But make una no be deceived, dem go follow strict rules. If dem no meet the standard or delay the timeline, na wahala go follow. Dem go revoke the land! I like the ginger wey dey follow dis one.
Wike throw shade for all those land speculators wey dey collect land, but no dey do anything. E say before, we don dey see people carry land dey sell am like they dey sell gala, but this time, dem go monitor all the progress. No more empty promises!
Di City Walk project go dey run in phases, and dem plan to start foundation laying between July and August 2025. Dem dey target May 2026 for di first phase completion, so e fit align with President Tinubu’s third year for office. As e be like say dem dey use this project to gloat, e go transform di Lugbe axis and upgrade di urban experience for Federal Capital Territory.
Wike don confirm say dem go give MAG all di support dem need, so no wahala for infrastructure – road connections go dey. E be like say dem mean business and na good thing for our economy. Dr. Kassim Gidado, di Executive Director for MAG, don talk say dis project no go just mimic Dubai; e go get local flavor wey go fit our culture.
As we dey watch dis development, e go redefine urban experience for FCT and carry better returns for investors! E go blend elegance, sustainability, and economic value to create something wey dem go chook eye for, just like dem dey do am for abroad. Wetin you think? Abeg, make we no jinx am this time o!
