The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has announced plans to commission multiple infrastructure projects across Abuja over a 19-day period to commemorate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's second year in office.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike revealed this decision following the 14th Executive Committee meeting of the FCTA. According to a statement released by Lere Olayinka, the Minister's Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, the commissioning exercise will commence on June 10, 2025.

Among the key projects slated for commissioning are the renovated Abuja International Conference Centre, Bus Terminals at Kugbo and Mabushi, and several major road networks including the Apo-Wassa Road and the N16 Interchange.

Other significant infrastructure projects include roads connecting Maitama through Katampe to Jahi, the Inner Northern Expressway from Ring Road 3 (Idu to Kubwa Road), CN8 from N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) to the Court of Appeal, N20 Flyover Onnex Kubwa Road, and the Life Junction to Ring Road III corridor.

The commissioning will also feature the Kabulsa-Takushara and Kabusa-Ketti access roads, the Giri District access road, a 15-kilometer stretch from A2 Junction Abuja-Lokoja Road to Pai in Kwali Area Council, as well as the Ushafa, War College, and Army Checkpoint roads in Bwari Area Council.

Additionally, the FCT Executive Committee has approved a contract to upgrade streetlights on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway (Ring Road I). Mr. Richard Dauda, Acting Executive Secretary of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), explained that the upgrade aims to replace obsolete streetlights installed over 15 years ago along the 14-kilometer, 10-lane expressway from Maitama to Gudu.

"The current streetlights no longer provide sufficient illumination, leaving many parts of the road in darkness at night," Mr. Dauda stated. The new hybrid street lighting system is expected to enhance visibility, safety, and motorability along this key route.

This extensive commissioning exercise reflects the FCTA's ongoing commitment to infrastructure development and improved urban living in the Federal Capital Territory under Minister Wike's leadership, as the administration marks President Tinubu's second year in office.
