Tinubu Commissions Kuje Road to Boost Economic Growth

On [exact date not provided], President Bola Ahmed Tinubu commissioned the Kuje Road project, a six-lane dual carriageway designed to connect the airport expressway to the Kuje township junction. This project, which faced significant delays, was initiated with a contract awarded on February 4, 2022, costing over 54 billion naira.

President Tinubu emphasized the administration's proactive approach to addressing inherited issues and highlighted the economic benefits of the road, which aims to decongest the city center, open peripheral economic zones, and boost property values. The project will also facilitate local farmers in transporting agricultural produce to markets.

Minister Nyesom Wike was commended for his relentless execution of the project, which is expected to transform the socio-economic landscape of Kuje and surrounding satellite towns. Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, the FCT Minister of State, affirmed that the project reflects the administration's commitment to improving connectivity and stimulating economic growth.
