President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday said that his administration is committed to not just committed to developing the Federal Capital Territory’s city centre but also ensuring that its suburbs enjoy the dividends of good governance.
Tinubu said this while commissioning Collector Road CN8 (Asuquo Okon Way) and other connecting roads in the Dakibiyu District of Abuja carried out by the FCT Administration led by Nyesom Wike.
Represented by his vice, Kashim Shettima, the president also assured that the dividends of the road projects were immediate and enduring and should be enjoyed by every Nigerian.
He said that his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda aims to deliver a functional capital city and a foundation for a functioning nation.
He further commended the FCT minister for his dedication and speed in delivering projects across the capital city.
Tinubu said the ongoing infrastructural development is a testament to his administration’s commitment to building an inclusive and thriving Nigeria.
He said, “When a city works, when its roads are paved, when its lights stay on, and when its arteries flow without congestion, it tells the world that its government is not just present but purposeful.”
He added that the litany of roads being constructed by the present administration will shorten commutes and ease congestion across the FCT.
“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our vision for Abuja is not limited to its glittering centre. We are equally committed to its outskirts, to its margins, to its hidden corners where dreams often struggle to breathe.
“Every road we build, every bridge we complete, every community we connect is a firm step towards a more inclusive, more equitable Nigeria,” he noted, maintaining that “the roads are a bold signature of the administration’s commitment to urban renewal and economic revitalisation,” Tinubu said.
