Nigeria's FCT: Tinubu administration provides access to homes, jobs, and a better future

President Bola Tinubu's administration is making substantial investments in infrastructure and housing within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to fulfill the promises of its Renewed Hope Agenda. This commitment was highlighted during the inauguration of a new 10.5-kilometer road network in Karsana District, Abuja.

By linking Karsana West to the Outer Northern Motorway, also known as the Murtala Mohammed Motorway, we have made thousands of affordable housing units accessible, liveable, and safe.

The newly completed road project includes arterial roads N11, N16, and N40, along with Special Important Local Street 03. These routes connect the Renewed Hope City and Estates in Karsana West to other parts of Abuja. President Tinubu, represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, stated that these roads significantly improve access to thousands of affordable housing units, making them "accessible, liveable, and safe."

This is renewed hope on the ground. It means less time in traffic, lower vehicle costs, safer movement at night, and the dignity of arriving at your doorstep without a struggle.

"This is renewed hope on the ground," Tinubu said, emphasizing the benefits such as reduced traffic, lower vehicle costs, safer nighttime travel, and the dignity of easier access to homes. He recalled his directive during the groundbreaking for the 3,112-unit Renewed Hope City: to provide necessary infrastructure and unlock the district for development. "Housing without access is a blueprint without a building," he asserted, aiming to end Abuja's history of "awarded and abandoned" projects.

Housing without access is a blueprint without a building. For too long, Abuja’s story was ‘awarded and abandoned’. Today, we are ending that story with roads that open, not ones that stall.

Tinubu detailed the Renewed Hope Agenda's practical approach: "identify the bottleneck, fund the solution, supervise the work, and finish what we started." He believes this method is transforming Abuja into a city where infrastructure development keeps pace with its citizens' ambitions. The timely delivery of roads and other infrastructure, he added, strengthens public confidence and enhances residents' quality of life. The president specifically commended the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for his role in facilitating access to previously hard-to-reach residential areas, stating, "Wike, you have earned my trust, and you have my commendation."

Renewed Hope is not a slogan. It is a method we practise: identify the bottleneck, fund the solution, supervise the work, and finish what we started.
