Tinubu Flags Off Abuja-Kaduna Road Reconstruction Project
President Bola Tinubu has flagged off the reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano federal highway, a critical road which is vital to the socio-economic life of Northern Nigeria. Speaking at the event on behalf of the President, Governor Uba Sani described the road as a major artery linking the Federal Capital Territory to over 12 states across the North Central, North West, and North East geopolitical zones.
At the event which took place at Jere in Kagarko local government on Sunday, the Governor noted that the road had suffered neglect for several years, costing lives and hurting economic growth. Governor Uba Sani described the road as the busiest in the north and second busiest in Nigeria, after the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, lamenting that the people watched helplessly as its condition worsened over the years. “The reconstruction of this road will undoubtedly bring much-needed relief and development to our communities. It will create job opportunities and boost security, transforming the socio-economic and political landscape of our region,” he added.
The Governor recalled that as a senator, he had pushed for the road’s completion, by mobilizing fellow lawmakers, organizing a town hall meeting, and engaging directly with President Tinubu. “In response to the cries of our citizens and travelers enduring hardship on this dilapidated road, I visited our dear leader and President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to brief him. Mr. President not only gave me a listening ear, he gave the Minister of Works marching orders to ensure the project takes off without delay,” he said.
