President Bola Tinubu says his administration is committed to creating a robust and efficient transportation network in Abuja.

On Thursday, Mr Tinubu stated this while inaugurating the completed B6 (Constitution Avenue), B12 (Independence Avenue), and Circle Roads in Abuja’s central area.

The president, who Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented, said that the delivery of roads and other infrastructural projects aligned with his administration’s renewed hope agenda.

He said, “We recognise that an efficient transport network remains vital for economic growth, social integration, and overall national development. As we commission these strategic roads, we are not just opening pathways of asphalt and concrete but also paving the way to enhance economic activities, improve accessibility, and a higher quality of life for our citizens.

“We remain committed to continuing this journey of building more roads, bridges, and essential infrastructure that will connect our people and drive our economy. This event stands as a testament to this administration’s unwavering commitment to infrastructural development and urban renewal, a cornerstone of our vision for a more prosperous and much more connected Nigeria.”

Mr Tinubu recalled that his administration set an ambitious agenda to transform the nation’s infrastructural landscape when he assumed office a year ago.

“The completion of these roads remains a demonstration of what we can achieve through dedicated planning, unwavering commitment and elaborate collaborative efforts.

“These roads are designed to alleviate traffic congestion, reduce travel time, and provide a more seamless connection between key areas within our Capital City,” Mr Tinubu explained.

The president commended Mr Wike, FCTA, and all the stakeholders involved in executing all the projects he had inaugurated for the past seven days.

Mr Akpabio congratulated Mr Wike for the feat, saying, “You have not disappointed Nigerians. As the Chairman of the National Assembly, we will continue to give the FCT Administration all the needed support for Wike to succeed in turning things around for the better.

“Just before we left the chambers on Mr President’s directive, we passed for second reading of the Supplementary Appropriation Bill of the FCT to enable you to do more for the people. By next week, we will pass the budget, and I believe Mr President will sign it, and it will become an Act of parliament. We will continue to support you in every way possible.”
