Barr. Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has expressed delight over the Airport–Kuje–Gwagwalada road’s rapid progress and said that the project will be ready for inauguration by June 2019.
Wike described the route as a crucial piece of infrastructure that will revolutionize transportation within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and expressed his admiration for the extent of work completed thus far during his inspection of the enormous road project on Wednesday.
“This is really impressive. Wike stated during the tour that “the road from the airport to Kuje is one that is very important for us.”
Recalling his previous visit to the Kuje–Gwagwalada axis, the Minister praised the contractors for their work while stopping close to a mosque that was still under construction.
According to the contractors, we should have this project up and running by the first week of June or the end of June, God willing. Because to this significant initiative, you won’t have to go through the airport to get to Gwagwalada or back to town. “What we have seen has made us very, very happy,” he said.
With the new road, drivers should have a significant alternate route, which will shorten travel times and lessen the heavy traffic that frequently occurs in the airport corridor.
While the Kuje–Gwagwalada portion is over 65% finished, the Airport–Kuje stretch is already over 70% finished, according to Wike’s progress report.
“Well, if you take from the airport to Kuje, it is over 70%, and here (from Kuje to Gwagwalada), I can see it is almost 65%, so I think they will meet up,” he declared with assurance.
The initiative, which is a component of Wike’s robust drive to develop satellite towns and relieve traffic in the city center, is anticipated to have a significant positive impact on residents of Kuje, Gwagwalada, and the neighboring areas.
As June draws near, all eyes are on the contractors to complete the revolutionary road that would put an end to many commuters’ nightmares with airport gridlock.
