The Federal Government has opened the completed Federal Highway 105, connecting the Abuja Airport Expressway to Kuje Township. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, performed the commissioning as part of the administration’s wider infrastructure delivery in the Federal Capital Territory. The road brings to completion a major corridor that had remained unfinished for years and now gives satellite communities a stronger link to the capital’s transport network.
The six-lane dual carriageway is expected to shorten travel time, reduce transport costs, and ease persistent congestion for residents moving between Abuja’s suburbs and the city centre. FCT Minister Nyesom Wike said the 54-billion-naira project had suffered delays before the Tinubu administration supplied the political backing and funding needed to push it to completion. For commuters and businesses, the route is being presented as a practical economic relief.
At the ceremony, the Presidency said communities outside Abuja’s ceremonial centre must not be left behind in the distribution of development. The executive message framed the road as part of a wider duty to extend public infrastructure to settlements that support the capital’s daily economy. Traditional leaders in the area were also urged to protect the new installations from vandalism, with the government stressing that public assets must be preserved for long-term community benefit.
