He has proven once again that when he is given a job, he does not sleep until it is done.

Tinubu stated that the ongoing transformation of Abuja mirrors the broader development agenda of his administration for Nigeria. He emphasized that infrastructure development is crucial for economic prosperity, asserting that his government will not be defined by abandoned projects or unfulfilled promises. "When you build roads, you open up districts. When you open up districts, you invite investment. And when investment comes, Nigeria grows," he explained.

The President highlighted the FCT's transformation as a blueprint for national development, suggesting it serves as a model for replication across the country. He pledged continued investment in cities, satellite towns, and rural communities, ensuring all Nigerians benefit from good governance.

Recounting the origin of the road project, Tinubu mentioned an appeal from the Body of Benchers regarding traffic congestion and poor access roads near the Institution and Research District. He noted the project's rapid completion, emphasizing that it also generated hundreds of jobs, demonstrating how infrastructure investment stimulates economic growth.

The transformation of Abuja is a microcosm of the transformation we are bringing to the entire Federal Republic of Nigeria.
