Tinubu further highlighted the broader implications of such collaborations for the country’s capital and its residents. “What is happening in our capital demonstrates the potential of our government’s renewed hope agenda for positive transformation in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and across Nigeria.
This ambitious project is vital for the FCT and its residents. The expansion of the Outer Southern Expressway will not only ease traffic congestion and improve transportation but also drive economic growth and create numerous opportunities for prosperity.”
The President’s message was clear: the key to unlocking Nigeria’s potential lies in the ability of its leaders to work together, setting aside personal and political interests. He stressed that the successful completion of the expressway project is a testament to what can be accomplished through such collaboration.
“This project is not just about infrastructure,” he said. “It represents our collective commitment to building a better future for all Nigerians. It is a reminder that when we unite, there is no limit to what we can achieve.”
Vice President Shettima, delivering Tinubu’s speech, added that the project is also part of a broader vision for the nation’s infrastructure development. “This expressway is a critical component of our strategic efforts to enhance connectivity within the capital and beyond.
It will play a pivotal role in reducing travel time, boosting trade, and facilitating seamless movement of people and goods. This, in turn, will have a multiplier effect on the economy, fostering growth and creating jobs.”
The commissioning ceremony was attended by various dignitaries, government officials, and community leaders, all of whom echoed the President’s call for unity and cooperation.
They recognized that the successful completion of the Outer Southern Expressway is a clear demonstration of what can be achieved through joint efforts and shared goals.
