Tinubu ends 30-year Abuja Tech Villa stalemate

President Bola Tinubu has officially ended a 30-year deadlock over the Abuja Technology Village corridor, marking a significant achievement for his administration. The President commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for his decisive land administration reforms that revitalized the long-dormant site.

"For 20 years, the Abuja Technology Village corridor lay dormant. Today, through aggressive land administration reforms and the eradication of bureaucratic inertia, it is being transformed into a bustling construction hub," Tinubu stated. He was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima at the launch of the Sales Office and Experience Centre for the multi-billion-dollar Abuja City Walk development.

Shettima described the project as a major milestone under the "Renewed Hope Agenda." He emphasized that the launch signifies more than just opening a building; it unveils "a window to a multi-billion-dollar future" poised to redefine the FCT as a global center for commerce, innovation, and modern urban living. The administration aims to end land speculation and abandoned projects, ensuring land serves as a catalyst for development.

For 20 years, the Abuja Technology Village corridor lay dormant. Today, through aggressive land administration reforms and the eradication of bureaucratic inertia, it is being transformed into a bustling construction hub.

Tinubu urged the FCT Administration and the developers, Master International Links, to ensure the experience center's launch translates into rapid physical construction. He reiterated his administration's pledge for economic transformation and infrastructure renewal, highlighting the Abuja City Walk as proof of their commitment. The project, situated along the Abuja Airport Expressway, is considered one of Nigeria's most ambitious private-sector investments and is expected to become the nation's primary gateway to the world.

Inspired by global developments like Dubai City Walk, the project has been adapted to Nigeria's context. The President stressed that sustainable national development hinges on strong government-private sector collaboration, with the Abuja City Walk serving as a prime example. Granting the corridor Free Trade Zone status is also planned to eliminate trade barriers.
