ABUJA, Nigeria, June 25, 2026 - The Federal Capital Territory Administration has attained a landmark structural milestone following the formal commissioning of the newly completed Phase One of the Kuje–Gwagwalada dual carriageway. Presided over by Vice President Kashim Shettima on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the seven-kilometer asphalt engineering asset represents a key victory for adjacent sub-metropolitan zones.
The critical transit corridor was awarded to Gilmor Engineering Nigeria Limited following detailed consultations with traditional councils who traced local insecurity directly to broken logistics links. Fitted with heavy concrete side drains, custom pedestrian walkways, and integrated solar-powered street lighting arrays, the upgraded lanes safely unlock the agricultural and housing layout potentials of the area.
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike confirmed that expanding alternative peripheral bypass routes remains an absolute prerequisite for easing intense traffic stress lines across central Abuja. While the initial segment is fully active, civil contractors have synchronized structural base compacting on Phase Two, which remains on a rigid track to be delivered by a strict implementation deadline of December 2026.
