On [exact date not provided], President Bola Ahmed Tinubu commissioned a newly completed carriageway in Abuja, vowing to end abandoned projects. The road project, which includes a 15-kilometer left-hand service carriageway, aims to stimulate economic growth and improve transportation quality in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Tinubu noted that his administration is steadily advancing various projects, with the first phase of the Abuja ring road expected to be inaugurated in 2024 and the main carriageway by 2025. Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, highlighted the project's success, attributing it to the administration's commitment and the contractor, CGC Nigeria, delivering within the agreed timeline.

Wike also mentioned that 80% of projects inherited from previous administrations have been completed. The new road is anticipated to reduce traffic congestion, lower transport costs, and expand Abuja's economic footprint, contributing to the overall modernization agenda of the FCT administration.
