The Federal Capital Territory Administration has opened a major transport corridor after Minister Nyesom Wike commissioned Phase One of Federal Highway FCT 105, linking the Abuja Airport Expressway to the Kuje Township Junction. The completed six-lane dual carriageway gives Kuje and nearby satellite settlements a stronger connection to the capital city, easing a long-standing bottleneck that had slowed commuters, traders, and emergency movement across the axis.
The project converts an abandoned single-lane stretch into a modern regional artery with reinforced concrete box culverts, dual river bridges, wider carriageways, and solar-powered street lighting. For residents and businesses around Kuje, the route is expected to reduce travel time, improve night-time safety, support logistics movement, and strengthen property and commercial activity across communities that have often felt distant from central Abuja.
Minister Wike said the road reflects the administration’s commitment to spreading infrastructure beyond the city centre into satellite towns. The FCTA is expected to fold the corridor into wider transport and security planning so that commuters, farmers, market operators, and service providers can use the route safely while Abuja’s outer districts gain stronger access to jobs, schools, markets, healthcare centres, and public services across the territory.
