FG intensifies Abuja infrastructure rollout with Mabushi road commissioning

 

 

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s focus on infrastructure as a central pillar of the Renewed Hope Agenda, saying that road development remains key to unlocking economic growth and improving living standards.

Speaking on Friday in Abuja through Vice President Kashim Shettima, Tinubu commissioned Collector Roads 01 and 02 in the Mabushi District of the Federal Capital Territory, describing the project as part of ongoing efforts to improve connectivity across the capital city.

He said infrastructure spending under the Renewed Hope Agenda is already translating into better mobility, stronger business activity, and improved productivity.

“Renewed Hope is not just a slogan; it reflects in the roads people drive on, the ease of movement to work, and confidence in government delivery,” the President said, adding that improved road networks directly support commerce and social mobility.

Tinubu described roads as critical economic assets, noting that improved transport links reduce travel time, support business expansion, and enhance safety across urban corridors.

The newly commissioned Mabushi roads, he said, now provide improved linkages within the district, easing movement between the bus terminal and surrounding communities while reducing congestion previously experienced by residents.

He restated his administration’s ambition to develop a well-connected capital city that serves all residents, regardless of location, adding that infrastructure expansion would continue across districts.

Tinubu also commended the Minister of the Nyesom Wike, for driving the execution of infrastructure projects across the territory, saying the progress reflects a commitment to turning plans into tangible assets.

“I tasked you with making Abuja work for all, and you have delivered by turning blueprints into roads people can use,” he said.

Earlier, Wike said the project aligns with the President’s directive to open up all districts of the capital through road infrastructure, while urging continued public support for ongoing reforms and projects.

Minister of State for the FCT, Mariya Mahmoud, described the Mabushi roads as a key milestone in efforts to improve connectivity and stimulate economic activity within the capital.
