Tinubu Pledges Integrating Satellite Towns at the Flags off Construction of Tunga Madaki Access Road.
President Bola Tinubu has pledged to advance his administration’s drive to integrate satellite communities into the Federal Capital Territory’s development framework.
The president made the pledge while flagging -off the construction of the access road linking Tungan Madaki to the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway through Zuba.
The president, represented by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, said the project is part of the Renewed Hope Agenda aimed at ensuring that rural and suburban communities benefit from the same level of infrastructure development as residents of the city centre.
He said the road project formed a critical component of a broader strategy to connect communities, stimulate economic activities, improve mobility and unlock investment opportunities across the FCT.
“This project is a direct continuation of the road from the Bill Clinton Drive to Tungan Madaki Community Road which we commissioned a few weeks ago as part of the activities marking the third anniversary of the Renewed Hope Administration.
“What began as one road is now growing into a network, and that is how real development takes root,” Tinubu said.
The president noted that residents of Tungan Madaki, Zuba and neighbouring communities, many of whom are farmers, traders and students, have endured years of poor road access that hindered movement, increased transportation costs and limited economic opportunities.
