Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory in Nigeria, has expressed optimism regarding the timely completion of significant road projects aimed at improving connectivity between Abuja Airport and the satellite towns of Kuje and Gwagwalada. During his recent project inspection tour, Wike noted that these infrastructure projects have advanced considerably and are expected to be inaugurated by June 2026. He underscored the importance of this development in reducing travel times for residents commuting to and from the airport, thereby enhancing overall transportation efficiency in the region.

The minister reported that the road connecting the Airport to Kuje has surpassed 70% completion, while the stretch from Kuje to Gwagwalada is nearly 65% complete. The completion of these roads is anticipated to create a direct route for travelers, allowing them to avoid the congested main airport road. This is expected to alleviate traffic congestion for those traveling between Gwagwalada and the Abuja city center, making daily commutes smoother for residents.

Wike's commitment to these developments reflects a broader effort to enhance transportation infrastructure within the Federal Capital Territory, showcasing the government's dedication to improving quality of life through better road connectivity. As these projects near completion, they are expected to contribute significantly to local economic growth and mobility for both residents and visitors in the region.
