President Bola Tinubu has declared that criminal hideouts are disappearing in Abuja as social activities gradually return to the capital, attributing the transformation to good governance that has provided security and mobility for residents.
Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, spoke during the inauguration of the Collector Road CN2 in Katampe District on Friday.
“Today, Katampe is safer at night. Abuja’s real life is coming back. Criminal hideouts are disappearing,” Tinubu said.
The president said the development showed what effective governance could deliver to citizens.
“Indeed, this road is a testament to the Renewed Hope Agenda. Nigeria is working again,” he stated.
Tinubu noted that the road connects Katampe and Mabushi districts with major road networks and would reduce travel difficulties caused by congestion, dust and poor road conditions.
“A road like CN2 is more than concrete. It is hope,” the president added.
“From abandoned roads to new boulevards”
Tinubu praised FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for fulfilling the mandate to make Abuja a true capital city, commending his dedication to roads, water projects and judicial infrastructure across the FCT.
“Wike, you have not disappointed Nigerians. From abandoned roads to new boulevards,” Tinubu said.
“You do not give excuses. You give results. The people of the FCT call you Mr Project,” he added.
The president described the minister’s performance as proof of commitment to rebuilding the nation’s capital.
The road project, which includes solar streetlights, reflects his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda for national development, Tinubu said.
