The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, will on Thursday, September 18, 2025, commission two newly completed roads and flag off the construction of 12 others across the Federal Capital City.
According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the initiative also includes the rollout of solar-powered streetlights in major districts and expressways under the Light-Up Abuja Programme.
The projects scheduled for commissioning include access roads in Sector Centre B by Dakibiyu District, as well as ILS 11 (Esther Bali Street) and MAR 24 (Kez Udezue Street) in Mabushi District.
Between September 18 and October 16, the minister will launch 14 new projects, among them the development of Arterial Road N1 linking Wuye District to Ring Road II, construction of the Northern Parkway from Ring Road II to Ring Road III, and access roads to the Mabushi Bus Terminal and the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates site in Karsana West.
