A growing wave of public anger has erupted over the stark contrast between development efforts in Kwali Area Council and the long-standing neglect of the Gwagwalada Area Council Townhall.
Findings show that the Kwali Area Council Townhall was initiated and completed within a three-year period, standing today as a functional civic facility serving the people. In sharp contrast, the Gwagwalada Area Council Townhall was reportedly started nearly 30 years ago and remains incomplete, abandoned, and unusable.
Residents and observers have described the situation as a symbol of misplaced priorities, accusing the current Gwagwalada Area Council leadership under Chairman Abu Giri of ignoring critical public infrastructure while public discourse is dominated by trivial matters.
“But una dey shamelessly busy talking about Corolla and Golf,” a resident lamented, reflecting widespread frustration over what many see as elite distractions in the face of decades-long infrastructural failure.
The development has sparked renewed calls for accountability and action, with activists insisting that it is time to confront the rot head-on.
“Oya, make we start am,” the call echoes across the streets and online spaces, as citizens demand answers and visible progress.
The emerging movement, tagged by some as “Dobiza Dobiza – One Man Squad,” signals a rising determination among the people to challenge silence, neglect, and political complacency surrounding one of Gwagwalada’s most glaring unfinished projects.
As pressure mounts, all eyes are now on the Gwagwalada Area Council leadership to respond—not with excuses, but with action.
