President Bola Tinubu says the Nyesom Wike-led Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) is opening the territory for businesses, housing and investment.
Tinubu said this in Abuja on Tuesday, while inaugurating the right-hand service carriageway of the Inter Northern Expressway (INEX) from Ring Road III to Outer Northern Expressway, ONEX (Murtala Mohammed Expressway).
The project was among the 10 so far inaugurated, out of the 17 projects outlined for inauguration to celebrate Tinubu’s second year in Office.
Represented by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, the president described the newly constructed INEX as a “critical piece” of the Federal Territory Master Plan.
He added that the road was designed to ease traffic flow, enhance connectivity and improve urban mobility for millions of commuters, residents and businesses in the city.
He commended the FCT Administration led by Wike, for his vision and commitment to quality and timely execution of projects.
“What you have contributed to something larger than the roadway; you have contributed to the future of our capital.
“This vital carriageway we inaugurated today is not just a road; It is a symbol of progress and a reflection of my administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“An agenda committed to building infrastructure that serves the people, unlocks economic potential and supports sustainable development,” he said.
Tinubu pointed out that as traffic volume increases in the FCT, and across the satellite towns, it has become imperative for continuous expansion and maintenance of critical routes.
This road, he said, would not only connect key junctions, but also facilitate safer and faster movement within Abuja transportation corridors.
The project was among the 10 so far inaugurated, out of the 17 projects outlined for inauguration to celebrate Tinubu’s second year in Office.
