Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>As part of activities marking the second year anniversary of the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) under the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has earmarked 19 days for projects commissioning.<\/p>\n

This was part of the decisions taken at the 14th Executive Committee meeting of the FCTA, which was chaired by the Minister.<\/p>\n

According to a statement by the Minister\u2019s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, \u201cthe commissioning of projects will commence on June 10, 2025 and will go on for 19 days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the projects scheduled for commissioning are; the newly renovated Abuja International Conference Centre, Bus Terminals in Kugbo and Mabushi as well as Apo \u2013 Wassa road.<\/p>\n

Others are N16 interchange and roads to connect Maitama through Katampe to Jahi, Inner Nothern Expressway from Ring Road 3 (Idu to Kubwa Road), CN8 from N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) to Court of Appeal, N20 Flyover Onnex Kubwa Road and Life Junction to Ring Road III.<\/p>\n

Also to be commissioned are Kabulsa-Takushara Access Road, Kabusa-Ketti Access Road, access road in Giri District,15km Road from A2 Junction Abuja-Lokoja Road to Pai in Kwali Area Council, as well as the Ushafa, War College, and Army Checkpoint roads in Bwari Area Council.<\/p>\n

Also, the FCT Executive Committee has approved the award of contract for the upgrade of streetlights on Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway (Ring Road I).<\/p>\n

Mr Richard Dauda, Acting Executive Secretary, Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), said that the project was among the seven approved memos submitted by the FCDA for consideration.<\/p>\n

He explained that the project involves the upgrade of the obsolete streetlights on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway, a 14-kilometer 10-lane expressway from Maitama to Gudu.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you pass there in the night, you will realise that most parts of the road are in darkness. Because the streetlights have been there for close to 15 years now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project was completed between 2005 and 2006, and the lights have become obsolete and no longer bright enough to lighten the road,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the upgrade became necessary following available new technology in street lightning.<\/p>\n

He added that a hybrid street lighting system would be deployed to brighten the road and make it more secure and more motorable in the night.<\/p>\n
