FCT Will Soon Become A National Identity – Tinubu

Bola Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has assured that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will soon evolve into a capital city that reflects Nigeria’s growing population, economic aspirations and national identity. He recently had his say while commissioning the full-scope development of Arterial Road N5, Obafemi Awolowo Way, connecting Life Camp Junction to Ring Road III in Dape District, Abuja.

Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to infrastructure-led development, he stated that improved transport connectivity in Abuja will decrease logistics costs, encourage investment and aid job creation.

Tinubu concluded by emphasizing that infrastructure is a measure of national seriousness and state capacity.

His words, “Infrastructure is the measure by which every civilised nation announces its seriousness. No capital can carry the weight of national ambition if its arteries are blocked by neglect, excuses and abandoned promises.

We will never rest until we have made the Federal Capital Territory not only a functional seat of government, but a capital worthy of our federation, our growing population and the dreams that brought Abuja into being.

There has been no break, no pause and no retreat in the construction and rehabilitation of the roads we inherited. That is why we have ended the tradition of abandoned projects and restored faith in the power of government to finish what it starts.

In the past, projects like this became permanent budget items with ten or fifteen years of excuses. Under this administration, that era is over.

The Honourable Minister has shown what happens when political will meets accountability. We fund projects to see results, not to hear explanations for failure.

With the completion of this N5 corridor, we are delivering the seamless district connectivity envisioned in the Abuja Master Plan.”

WOW.
