Tinubu hails Wike for providing roads to Renewed Hope City

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for his visible transformation of Nigeria's capital and for executing directives to provide roads and engineering infrastructure to the 3,112-unit Renewed Hope City in Karsana.

“

When I performed the groundbreaking for the 3,112-unit Renewed Hope City here in Karsana, I gave one clear directive: provide the roads, provide the engineering infrastructure, and unlock this district for development. Housing without access is a blueprint without a building.

Tinubu, represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, made the commendation during the inauguration of 10.5 kilometers of access roads to the housing project. He emphasized that the completion of the road network fulfilled his directive to the FCT Minister to immediately open up the district, stating that "civil servants, families and investors cannot live in houses they cannot reach."

The newly completed roads, including Arterial Roads N11, N16, N40, and Special Important Local Street 03, link Karsana West to the Outer Northern Expressway. This ensures that all affordable housing units are accessible, liveable, and secure.

For too long, Abuja's story was ‘awarded and abandoned contracts’. Today, we are ending that story with roads that open, not ones that stall.

"For too long, Abuja's story was 'awarded and abandoned contracts'. Today, we are ending that story with roads that open, not ones that stall," Tinubu remarked. He praised Wike for treating deadlines as duties and for bringing urgency to the project, noting, "When urgency meets quality, results follow."

I gave that assignment to a minister who treats deadlines as duties. I told the honourable Minister of the FCT, Barrister Nyesom Wike, CON, that civil servants, families and investors cannot live in houses they cannot reach. ‘Open Karsana, and open it now’. He took that brief, set the pace and delivered.

Wike recalled that Karsana was inaccessible when Tinubu performed the groundbreaking in 2024. He mentioned that developers had feared their investments would become worthless without access roads. The project was fast-tracked by the federal government, ensuring prompt payment to the contractor who delivered within schedule. The Minister of State for the FCT, Mariya Mahmoud, also acknowledged the project's timely completion according to specifications.

When urgency meets quality, results follow. That is what you are standing on today.
