President commissions CN2 Collector Road in Katampe District, praises FCT transformation under Wike
Abuja real life returning Tinubu — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that Abuja’s social life is gradually returning,
while criminal hideouts across the capital are disappearing as a result of improved governance, infrastructure development, and enhanced security operations.
He made the remarks on Friday in Abuja during the commissioning of the Collector Road CN2, which links Arterial Road N16 to Arterial Road N20 in Katampe District.
The President, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, said the project reflects the administration’s commitment to improving mobility and restoring urban dignity.
In addition, Tinubu highlighted that the road includes solar streetlights and improved drainage systems, which he said have already enhanced night security and reduced criminal activity in the area.
According to him, “Abuja’s real life is coming back, and criminal hideouts are disappearing. That is what good governance delivers: security, mobility, and dignity.”
Furthermore, the President explained that the CN2 corridor connects Katampe and Mabushi districts, easing traffic flow and linking major arterial roads across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He emphasized that residents will now experience reduced travel time, fewer traffic bottlenecks, and improved access to markets and workplaces.
Tinubu also declared that the project is a clear demonstration of the “Renewed Hope Agenda,” insisting that “Nigeria is working again.”
He added that ongoing infrastructure development signals a shift from stagnation to visible national transformation.
Moreover, he praised the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for what he described as consistent performance and delivery of impactful projects.
“Wike, you have not disappointed Nigerians,” he said. “From abandoned roads to new boulevards, from water projects to judicial quarters, you work day and night. You give results.”
The President also thanked residents of Katampe and Mabushi for their patience during construction, noting that their cooperation made project completion possible.
He stressed that governance must translate into visible improvements such as better roads, lighting, and reduced commute times.
In a stronger call for civic responsibility, Tinubu urged residents to pay taxes and ground rents promptly, warning that government alone cannot sustain development.
“Support your community. Protect this infrastructure. Do not vandalize streetlights or turn walkways into markets,” he said. “This road is yours—guard it for your children.”
Earlier, the FCT Minister reiterated that no society can progress without strong infrastructure, adding that roads, water systems, and public utilities remain the backbone of development.
He also thanked the President and Vice President for sustained funding and political support for FCT projects under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Ultimately, the commissioning of the CN2 Collector Road marks another milestone in Abuja’s urban renewal drive, with government officials insisting that more infrastructure projects are underway to further transform the capital city.
