Wike vows to deliver Abuja road projects in May

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has assured residents that key road projects linking satellite towns would be delivered on schedule.

Wike revealed that the Airport–Kuje road project is nearing completion, with one part of the bridge set to be opened for use next week.

“From Airport Junction to Kuje, one part of the bridge is almost completed. Before the end of May, the entire job will be handed over,” said the minister during an inspection tour of ongoing road projects in Abuja on Thursday, April 16, 2026.

On the Kuje–Gwagwalada road, the minister said the first phase of the dualisation project, spanning about seven kilometres, would also be completed before the end of May.

“I am happy with the progress, we are satisfied with the quality of jobs being delivered,” Wike added.

Wike noted that the ongoing projects would transform Kuje into a major hub, attracting residents and investors, and reducing congestion in Abuja city.

“Very soon, Kuje will no longer be a satellite town. People will move there, build houses, and the pressure on the city will reduce,” he said.

The former two-term governor of Rivers State further assured that ongoing projects would not be slowed down by political activities, revealing that over 80 per cent of planned works would be completed before January.

“Our focus is clear: deliver projects, improve lives, and keep Abuja moving,” he said.
