The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr Nyesom Wike, has pledged compensation for affected residents in the ongoing construction of Arterial Road N5, from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III.
Wike gave the assurance after inspecting some projects at Life Camp, Katampe, and the International Conference Centre in Abuja on Monday.
The Minister had on October 25, commissioned the construction of the 4-kilometre six lane dual carriageway from Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III, somewhere in Ido-Gwari.
The former Rivers State Governor, after inspecting the ongoing project, noted that some cash crops and a number of houses along the road corridor would be affected.
Wike, however, assured that in the two days, the communities of those who own some crops and those who would lose their houses or part of their structures would be compensated.
“What we went to do at Life Camp has to do, majorly, with some crops and some small number of houses that we need to pay compensation for, but if it requires relocating them, we’ll do; if it requires just compensation we’ll do, depending on what is feasible.
“What is important to us is that we are working together with the various communities to solve the problem,” he said.
