He stated this during a routine inspection of some infrastructure, which also included the Vice President’s official residence under construction.

“We have kept our promise to the residents of Abuja. These projects not only fulfill a commitment but also showcase the potential for improved urban mobility and infrastructure under the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Wike said.

He also added that the Wuye Interchange and Guzape Lot II District Infrastructure were on track for completion and would become operational by May.

“The President has given us tremendous support, and we are committed to ensuring that these projects are completed on time to ease traffic congestion and enhance connectivity within the city,” Wike added.

 The Executive Secretary of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), Shehu Hadi Ahmad, also reinforced the minister’s assurance by saying the roads upon completion would ease traffic congestion and improve transportation efficiency in Abuja.

The contractors involved reassured that they are dedicated to meeting the May deadline, aligning with the government’s objectives and providing necessary infrastructure improvements to support the city’s growth and development.
