Wike, who was accompanied by the FCT Minister of State, Dr Mariya Mahmoud, and with other FCTA top management officials, said the numbers of uncompleted projects in the territory were worrisome.
On the abandoned millennium tower project, the minister questioned why a project that would have positive impact on the residents of Abuja and beyond would not be completed.
Wike told the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Adesola Olusade, to devise measures that would bring about quick completion of the project.
He said: “Let us start doing something about this project before talking about partnership. If we are waiting for partners it will take us up to three years before work will start.
“It is not good to start a project that will havea positive impact on the lives of people and the city and abandon it.”
Some of the projects visited by the minister included the rehabilitation of the Federal Secretariat building, Phase 1, and the completion of roads B6, B12 and Circle Road in the city centre.
