ABUJA: President Bola Tinubu, on Monday flagged off the official construction of the access road from Tunga Madaki to the Abuja-Kaduna Road by Zuba, describing the project as part of a growing network of roads opening up satellite communities in the Federal Capital Territory FCT to the city center.
The president, represented by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dr Tajudeen Abbas, said the project was a direct continuation of the Bill Clinton Drive to Tunga Madaki Community Road commissioned weeks earlier as part of activities marking the third anniversary of the Renewed Hope Administration.
“What began as one road is now growing into a network, and that is how real development takes root,” he said.
Tinubu said Tunga Madaki, Zuba and the communities along the corridor are home to farmers, traders, students and families who “deserve the same dignity of access as those in the city center,” noting that poor road access had for years cut off movement during the rains and caused farmers to lose produce before it reached markets.
