The approval, granted through the FCT Administration, was part of the federal government’s push to boost development and improve connectivity in both urban and satellite areas.

Minister of State for FCT, Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure, disclosed this to State House correspondents on Monday after the federal executive council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Monday.

She explained that among the key projects was the construction of a bus terminal at Mabushi, located within Cadastral Zone Plot B06, Phase II of the federal capital city.

The contract, worth ₦30.97 billion, was awarded to Setraco Nigeria Limited and is expected to be completed within 18 months.

She also said a significant portion of the budget will go toward the construction of Arterial Road N1 connecting Wuye District and Ring Road II within the nation’s capital city.

The project, valued at ₦62.5 billion, has been awarded to Arab Contractors Nigeria Limited with a completion period of 20 months.

The minister said the Federal Government also approved the construction of the Kuje-Gwagwalada dual carriageway, a critical route aimed at boosting connectivity between key satellite towns.

The project was awarded to Gilmo Engineering Nigeria Limited at a cost of ₦7.5 billion.

Further enhancing road infrastructure, she said the council approved the rehabilitation of the Old Keffi Road, a 15-kilometer stretch linking Kado Village to Dei-Dei and connecting with the Outer Northern Expressway Junction.

The contract, valued at ₦26.87 billion, was awarded to Lubric Construction Company Limited, with an 18-month completion timeframe.

She said the final project under the approval was the construction of an access road to the Renewed Hope Cities and Estate Project within Karsana West District, Abuja. Also awarded to Lubric Construction Company Limited, this project is valued at ₦31.66 billion and is expected to be completed within 18 months.

She emphasised that the projects are expected to enhance mobility, boost socio-economic activities, and provide improved access to residential and commercial developments within the FCT.

The contracts were set to be closely monitored to ensure timely delivery and compliance with quality standards.
