President Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, inau-gurated the Wuye bridge interchange, linking Wuse and Wuye Districts in the Federal Capital City (FCC).
Speaking at the inauguration, President Tinubu reassured Nigerians of his admin-istration’s resolve to prioritize their wel-fare and make it the centerpiece of his national development agenda.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to building a nation where no one is left be-hind, emphasizing that his administration views government as a continuum.
“The best way to achieve greatness is to look forward, aspire for great results, and not be hindered by obstacles. We must see opportunities in obstacles and seize them,” the President stated.
Highlighting ongoing investments in es-sential services such as water supply, elec-tricity, and road networks, the President said his administration has laid the groundwork for economic growth, social progress, and improved quality of life for residents of the Federal Capital Territory.

He said the completion of the Wuye pro-ject would significantly improve traffic flow within and around the district.
“This facility enhances the security of our people, making them the central focus of our development efforts, which is the es-sence of democracy.
“Our determination to succeed and ex-tend happiness to the teeming popula-tion, and bring about prosperity and tan-gible value of immense proportions to our people is the primary objective of this government,” the President added.
President Tinubu, while commending FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike, and his team for completing a project that was initiated in 2009, expressed his willingness to make personal sacrifices for the wel-fare and prosperity of Nigerians.
In his remarks, Barrister Wike said resi-dents of the FCT had lost hope in the completion of the interchange bridge, linking Wuye and Wuse districts, but now have a reason to rejoice because of the support from the President.
“The FCT is working due to the President’s significant support. This project, initially awarded in 2009 at a cost of N34 billion, was revised to N74 billion before this ad-ministration took office on May 29, 2023,” the Minister said.
