President Bola Tinubu has emphasised the importance of leaders working together towards a common goal.

 

Tinubu who commissioned the Outer Southern Expressway from the Villa Roundabout to Ring Road 1 (RR1) in Abuja on Monday, said the country could achieve more if leaders shelved partisan politics.

 

Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, he said the completion of projects across the country, is a clear example of what the country is capable of achieving.

ā€œThe completion of this project is not only a piece of engineering but a testament to the power of collaboration and partnership. It is a shining example of what we can accomplish when we work together towards a common goal, transcending political divide and personal interest for the greater good of our nation,ā€ he said.

 

The president also stressed the significance of the completed project, describing it as another important achievement and a milestone for his Renewed Hope administration.

 

ā€œWhat is unfolding in our capital is a testament to what can be achieved with our governmentā€™s renewed hope agenda of a positive transformation for the FCT and indeed Nigeria.

 

ā€œThis ambitious undertaking holds profound significance for the FCT and its residents. The expansion of the Outer-Southern Motorway will not only alleviate traffic congestion and improve transportation but will also stimulate economic growth and create opportunities for prosperity.ā€

 

In his remarks, the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, acknowledged the challenges that the city had faced in the past.

 

He recalled that the road project awarded in 2013, had remained incomplete for 11 years, emphasising that the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu administration, is targeted at making life easier for the people of Abuja.

 

ā€œMr President said that every uncompleted project must be completed. Under the Treasury Single Account (TSA), it was very difficult for us to continue with this project, but because the President allowed us to pull out of the TSA, it became easy for us to access funds and pay the contractors who now have confidence in our ability to pay,ā€ Wike said.

 

The minister also assured FCT residents, that the governmentā€™s focus is not limited to roads, saying they are also working to rehabilitate the cityā€™s schools, ensuring that all the bad schools will be brought up to standard.
