“We remain committed to delivering on our promises, empowering our people, and building a nation that we can all be proud of.

“The extension of the ISEX represents more than just a road, it symbolises connectivity, accessibility, and opportunity.

“It signifies our unwavering determination to bridge the gap between urban and rural areas, ensuring that development is not confined to city centres, but reaches every corner of our great nation.

“But let us not forget that this is just one of the many projects that have been completed across the FCT.

“There are still many more strategic projects in the pipeline, each designed to address the evolving needs of our Federal Capital, from upgrading existing infrastructure, initiating new projects, we are laying the ground for a more sustainable and prosperous future.”

The President also praised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and his team for making the road project a reality.
