Tinubu flags off Tunga Madaki-Zuba road, links satellite towns to Abuja-Kaduna highway

By Omeiza Ajayi ABUJA: President Bola Tinubu, on Monday flagged off the official construction of the access road from Tunga Madaki to the Abuja-Kaduna Road by Zuba, describing the project as part of a growing network of roads opening up satellite communities in the Federal Capital Territory FCT to the city center.

He said the Federal Capital Territory was conceived to serve the entire nation, a vision he said could only be realised when satellite towns and gateway communities were properly integrated, adding that the road would ease pressure on the city center, create alternatives for commuters and strengthen the economic corridor between Abuja, Kaduna and the North West.

The minister described the chairman’s initiative as an example of leadership, noting that residents of Zuba would no longer need to pass through Gwagwalada to reach the airport or the city, as the community now had direct access to the airport following requests made during the second runway project.
