projects in the Kwali Area Council on Friday.

 

Wike maintained that development cannot be concentrated only

development to the rural areas.

According to the FCT Minister, “You have to take development
to the rural areas. That alone can mitigate rural-urban migration.

 

“You need to give them the infrastructure to develop on
their own. For example, their farmers, how will they carry their produce to the
city without any road.

 

“In terms of security, just imagine if people were
kidnapped. How will the security agencies have access to this kind of area –
look at the topography.

“So, creating infrastructure, particularly road here, is key
to the development of these communities and they will feel the impact of
governance.

 

“That’s the essence of the Renewed Hope Agenda. It’s not
just for those in the cities. It’s also for those in the rural areas.
