The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, says real estate developers are taking advantage of newly constructed road infrastructure, with building projects rapidly emerging along new road corridors across Abuja.

Wike said this on Friday after inspecting the ongoing construction of the access road to the FCT Fire Service Station in Kaura District, linking Ring Road II to Oladipo Diya Way in Gaduwa.

The project comprises the construction of one collector road, two important local streets and a minor access road aimed at improving connectivity and enhancing access within the rapidly developing districts.

The minister said the delivery of new road infrastructure was creating positive socio-economic impacts, including increased investment opportunities and employment prospects for young people across the Federal Capital Territory.

Wike described the access road as strategically important, noting that its completion would transform the area’s physical landscape, improve accessibility and stimulate economic activities within adjoining communities and neighbourhoods.
