Airport Traffic Relief in Sight as Wike Targets June for Mega Road Completion

Barr. Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has expressed delight over the Airport–Kuje–Gwagwalada road’s rapid progress and said that the project will be ready for inauguration by June.

Wike described the route as a crucial piece of infrastructure that will revolutionize transportation within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and expressed his admiration for the amount of work completed thus far during his inspection of the enormous road project on Wednesday.

“I’m pretty amazed. You are aware that one of the most important roads for us is the one connecting the airport to Kuje,” Wike stated during the visit.

The Minister remembered his previous trip to the Kuje–Gwagwalada axis, where he praised the contractors for their work and paused close to a mosque that was still under construction.

God willing, we will have started this project by the first week of June or the end of June, as the contractors have stated. You won’t have to go through the airport if you’re traveling to or from Gwagwalada to town because of this crucial initiative. We are quite pleased with what we have observed,” he said.

It’s anticipated that the new road will give drivers a significant alternate path, lowering travel times and the high traffic that frequently surrounds the airport area.

Wike provided a progress report, stating that the Airport–Kuje length is already more than 70% finished, and the Kuje–Gwagwalada section is over 65% finished.

“Well, if you take from the airport to Kuje, it is over 70%, and here (from Kuje to Gwagwalada), I can see it’s almost 65%, so I think they will meet up,” he declared with assurance.

The initiative is part of Wike’s vigorous campaign to expand satellite towns and decongest the city center, and it is anticipated to have a significant positive impact on residents of Kuje, Gwagwalada, and the adjacent districts.

Now that June is approaching, all eyes are on the contractors to complete the revolutionary road that would put an end to many commuters’ nightmares with airport gridlock.
