President Bola Tinubu has declared that criminal hideouts are vanishing in Abuja as social activities gradually return to the city.
Tinubu spoke during the inauguration of the Collector Road CN2 in Katampe District, Abuja. He was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima at the ceremony on Friday.
He credited the transformation to good governance that has enhanced security, mobility, and dignity for residents.
Tinubu praised the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for fulfilling his mandate to make Abuja a true capital city.
“My fellow residents of Abuja, we did not stop at the road. We installed solar streetlights.
Today, Katampe is safer at night. Abuja’s real life is returning. Criminal hideouts are disappearing,” he said.
The President emphasized that this development demonstrates what effective governance can achieve.
He noted that the road connects Katampe and Mabushi districts with major road networks.
According to Tinubu, the project aligns with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda for national development.
“Indeed, this road is a testament to the Renewed Hope Agenda. Nigeria is working again,” he stated.
He added that the infrastructure would ease travel, reducing congestion, dust, and poor road conditions.
“A road like CN2 is more than concrete. It is hope,” Tinubu said.
He highlighted that the project shows government’s ability to deliver tangible results for Nigerians.
Tinubu also praised Wike’s commitment, recalling his achievements before his appointment to transform Abuja.
“Wike, you have not disappointed Nigerians. From abandoned roads to new boulevards,” he remarked.
The President commended the minister’s dedication to roads, water projects, and judicial infrastructure across the FCT.
“You do not give excuses. You give results. The people of the FCT call you Mr. Project,” Tinubu said.
He described Wike’s performance as proof of the government’s commitment to rebuilding the nation’s capital.
