The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has finalised plans to construct a new head office for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
The proposed structure will be located in the Maitama area of the capital city.
Lere Olayinka, senior special assistant on public communications to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike confirmed this in an interview with journalists.
He disclosed that President Bola Tinubu is expected to commence the building project next week.

Back in May, Mr Wike announced that Mr Tinubu would commission already completed developments and initiate fresh ones across the FCT in commemoration of his second year in office.
Some of the projects under the FCTA’s oversight include the recently refurbished Abuja International Conference Centre (AICC), new bus terminals at Kugbo and Mabushi, and the Apo-Wassa Road project.
Additional infrastructure works include the N16 interchange and a network of roads linking Maitama, Katampe, and Jahi; the inner northern expressway stretching from Ring Road 3 (Idu to Kubwa Road); the CN8 route from N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) to the Court of Appeal; the N20 flyover along the Kubwa road corridor; and the road linking Life Camp junction to Ring Road III.
Further ongoing projects are the Kabusa-Takushara and Kabusa-Ketti access roads, an access route in Giri District, a 15km stretch from the A2 Junction on the Abuja-Lokoja Road to Pai in Kwali Area Council, and roadworks in Ushafa, War College, and near the army checkpoint in Bwari Area Council.
