The appeal by Sarah Omakwu against the private development of Jabi Lake Recreation Area could create uncertainty for the projects involving Suburban Broadband Limited and Akida Hills Limited, potentially affecting their investment and future tourism prospects in Abuja. This public opposition might also influence the Nigeria — Federal Capital Territory (Nigeria)'s future decisions regarding public land use, impacting real estate and tourism sectors.
Sarah Omakwu, a Senior Pastor, made a public appeal to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, urging him not to allocate the Jabi Lake Recreation Area for private development. Omakwu emphasized the importance of Jabi Lake as a public space for exercise, social activities, and community events, expressing concerns about the loss of public access to such areas. Her appeal comes months after the Nigeria — Federal Capital Territory (Nigeria), under Nyesom Wike, signed agreements with private firms, Suburban Broadband Limited and Akida Hills Limited, to redevelop the Jabi Lake area into a tourism and recreation hub. Despite her concerns, Omakwu commended Nyesom Wike for ongoing infrastructure projects in Abuja.
