Tinubu to commission infrastructure projects in Abuja as 3rd anniversary celebrations begin

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike has announced that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will officially begin the commissioning of infrastructure projects across the nation’s capital on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, as part of his third anniversary celebrations.

Speaking with newsmen on Monday, June 8, 2026, the Minister stated that the President will commence with the commissioning of stage two of the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) Main Carriageways, which he said was 100 percent complete.

Wike said, “Tomorrow, the President will start with the commissioning of the OSEX road, which was the first place we visited this morning”.

The Minister further disclosed that the commissioning itinerary will extend through a packed multi-day calendar to celebrate the administration’s third anniversary, adding that the President will commission the strategic Arterial Road N5 in Life Camp on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, which will be followed on Thursday by the commissioning of the newly dualized Highway 105 (Airport-to-Kuje carriageway), providing critical economic links to outlying development zones.

“These three projects are one hundred percent complete and ready for commissioning. What is important to us is that we have been able to achieve the timeline, and I commend the various contractors that are involved for keeping to their promises”, the Minister stated.

Beyond the city centre, Wike further confirmed that President Tinubu will also visit the satellite towns to personally inaugurate vital interventions within the Area Councils.

He expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his consistent support to the FCT Administration, which, he said, made the achievements possible.

“The credit must go to Mr. President, who has given that directive and support for us to go this far. I have always said that one of the things about leadership is the will to continue with projects that may not have been initiated by you, but you continue and complete those projects”, the Minister stated.

Responding to questions regarding completed FCT bus terminals that are yet to open for commercial operations, Wike urged residents to remain patient with the mandatory bureaucratic process.

He clarified that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has already approved a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) lease structure, and the concessionaire is presently consolidating public transportation fleets to match modern requirements.
