Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has expressed satisfaction with the pace of ongoing infrastructure projects across the nation’s capital, disclosing that the Renewed Hope City access road in Karsana District is nearing completion.

The minister said the Renewed Hope City project in Karsana, designed to provide access to thousands of affordable housing units within the FCT, had reached 98 per cent completion.
“I am happy that the Renewed Hope City in Karsana, which is a critical infrastructure designed to unlock access to thousands of affordable housing units in the FCT is 98% completed,” he stated.

According to him, the road project would improve connectivity for communities including Saburi, Gwagwa, Idu and Karmo by linking them directly to the Outer Northern Expressway.
“The 17km Old Keffi Road stretching from Kado Village and Life Camp junction through to the Dei-Dei axis is officially cleared for commissioning too and once completed, this critical infrastructure will link populated communities like Saburi, Gwagwa, Idu and Karmo directly to the Outer Northern Expressway (ONEX) dramatically reducing travel time,” Wike said.
The FCT minister further commended the progress of work on the Highway 105 project connecting Airport Road to Kuje, as well as the Phase 1 section of the Kuje-Gwagwalada road project, which he said had been completed.
“Also, the progress of work on the FCT Highway 105 from Airport Road to Kuje is commendable, just as the Phase 1 of the Kuje to Gwagwalada Road, which is completed too. These two major roads have transformed the visual landscape of the entire Kuje area,” he added.
Wike also provided an update on the Abuja City Gate remodelling project, describing it as an initiative championed by Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu.
According to him, the project is expected to be formally handed over by early June.
“The Abuja City Gate remodeling project, the visionary brainchild of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is also on track for a formal handover by early June. This is going to give the nation’s capital a modern, welcoming new look,” he said.
