President Bola Tinubu has declared that the sweeping infrastructure transformation currently reshaping the Federal Capital Territory will soon be replicated across Nigeria as his administration pushes ahead with major development projects nationwide.
Tinubu made the declaration in Abuja during the inauguration of the newly completed Transitway N2 linking the Central Business District to Wuse District, including two newly constructed bridges executed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
Represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, the President said his administration would continue to prioritise roads, bridges, rail lines and other key infrastructure projects aimed at driving economic growth and improving connectivity across the country.
According to him, the project reflects the vision of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which is focused on boosting economic opportunities, supporting sustainable development and improving the living standards of Nigerians.
Tinubu said the newly completed road corridor would reduce traffic congestion, improve movement within the capital city and create fresh commercial opportunities between major districts in Abuja.
He further described the project as a major component of the Abuja Master Plan, noting that it would drastically cut travel time for commuters and businesses operating within the FCT.
The President also applauded the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for spearheading what he described as massive infrastructure transformation in Abuja.
Speaking at the event, Wike described the Transitway as a strategic transport corridor connecting Wuse District and the Central Business District.
The minister credited the rapid pace of infrastructure delivery in the FCT to Tinubu’s support, especially the removal of the FCT Administration from the Treasury Single Account, which he said improved funding access for developmental projects.
Wike also disclosed that more landmark achievements by the administration in Abuja would be unveiled during the continuation of project inaugurations scheduled for July 17.
He further assured residents that roads currently missing from digital navigation platforms would soon be integrated to improve movement within the city.
Also speaking, Minister of State for FCT, Dr Mariya Mahmoud, described the completed corridor as a major investment in connectivity, urban efficiency and economic growth.
Earlier, the Acting Executive Secretary of the Federal Capital Development Authority, Richard Dauda, revealed that the project was awarded in October 2025 as the first major implementation of the Transitway concept under the Abuja Master Plan.
Dauda explained that the corridor was designed to support both vehicular and rail transportation as part of an integrated mass transit network connecting the city centre, districts and satellite towns.
He added that the broader transportation network would stretch across both the northern and southern development corridors of Abuja, spanning more than 100 kilometres when fully completed.
