Barr. Wike observed that the disconnect between the Abuja Lokoja Expressway and the Pai Community was due to the absence of good motorable road, and said the award and construction of the A2 to Pai road project, will enhance the living condition of the people within the community as well as improve the security situation in the area.
Speaking during the flag-off ceremony, the Minister said the provision of access roads would encourage the development of the real estate sector, enhance access to the markets for agricultural produce, and also decongest the Abuja city center.
while stressing that development will not be concentrated in the Abuja city center, the Minister said the Kabusa-Ketti road would be provided with streetlights as part of efforts to tackle insecurity.
Barr. Wike said, “What we are doing today is what the Renewed Hope Agenda is all about – giving hope back to our people. I’m sure the people of Kabusa and Takushara have lost hope that this road will ever be done. But to the glory of God and by the coming in of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, it’s a different story”.
