In a landmark step toward improving infrastructure in Nigeria’s capital, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, has commissioned the newly dualised Ushafa to War College Army checkpoint road—a long-awaited project now hailed as a symbol of inclusivity and development in the Bwari Area Council of the FCT.

“Today, we mark not just the commissioning of a road but the fulfilment of a promise,” said VP Shettima, reading Tinubu’s message to the community. “This road will now ease the burdens of traders, commuters, students, and healthcare workers.”

The dualisation is expected to:

• Boost local economy and trade routes

• Improve healthcare access and school commutes

• Foster community pride and ownership

In a show of support for homegrown talent, the road project was executed by a Nigerian contractor, Abdul Val—a move Tinubu described as intentional.

“We’re not just building roads, we’re building jobs, skills, and national pride,” he added.

He also took a playful jab at critics:

“Those who don’t want to see progress—may they not see at all!”
