The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is set to commission two newly completed roads and flag off the construction of 12 new road projects, alongside the rollout of the Light-Up Abuja Programme from Thursday, September 18, 2025.
According to a statement signed on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the exercise will run until October 16, 2025.
The Minister will inaugurate access roads in Sector Centre B by Dakibiyu District, as well as Roads ILS 11 (Esther Bali Street) and MAR 24 (Kez Udezue Street) in Mabushi District.
Under the Light-Up Abuja Programme, the FCT Administration will provide hybrid solar-powered streetlights across major districts and highways. The projects will be executed in two phases covering Maitama, Asokoro, Wuse, Central Business District, Airport Expressway, Katampe, Garki I & II, Mabushi, Gudu, Jabi, and Katampe Extension.
Other key projects to be flagged off include:
Full scope development of Arterial Road N1 (Wuye District to Ring Road II)
Construction of Northern Parkway (Ring Road II to Ring Road III)
Provision of access road to Mabushi Bus Terminal (Cadastral Zone B06)
Phase II development of Arterial N20 (Solomon Lar Way) linking Airport Expressway

The FCT Administration has recently embarked on multiple infrastructural projects. Four weeks ago, Wike flagged off the expansion of water supply in satellite towns, while two weeks ago he initiated construction of a multi-purpose sports centre in Kafe District, a new Magistrate Court complex in Jabi, and emergency reconstruction of Karu Road.
The new round of projects, according to the FCT Minister’s office, underscores the administration’s commitment to improving infrastructure and livability across Abuja.
