Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has approved N1.1 billion for payment of compensation to owners of property affected by the ongoing construction of the Airport Road to Kuje expressway.

Wike disclosed this in Abuja on Tuesday, after inspecting the structures, comprising about 13 buildings along the road corridor, earmarked for demolition.

The minister said that the N1.1 billion would be approved immediately to fast-track the delivery of the project. The road is a six-lane dual carriage expressway from Airport Road to Kuje.

He said, “I have come here to see for myself the report on the valuation of what I was supposed to pay. When I got the files for approval, I said, look, it would be proper for me to see for myself the kind of structures for which I was going to pay. So, I am happy with what I have seen. I will immediately approve the amount so that the Federal Capital Development Authority can start paying the compensation. I am going to make the N1.1 billion available so that the contractor will not find any excuse to delay the project.’’

The minister, who earlier inspected the ongoing construction of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal and the feeder road to the edifice, expressed satisfaction with the pace of the projects.

He expressed confidence that the court of appeal complex project would be completed and handed over in September 2025.

Wike also said that the feeder road, Asuquo Okon Road (Road CN8), from the Obafemi Awolowo Way (Arterial Road N5) to the Olusegun Obasanjo Way (Arterial Road N1), was expected to be delivered in May 2025.

He said that the project included adjoining roads within the sector centre in Daki Biyu District.

The minister said, “I am very impressed with what we saw this afternoon. It is progressing as expected. By the grace of God, we believe that in September 2025 the contractor will have handed over the structure. I also inspected the construction of the road leading to that edifice and the contractor is also doing everything possible to see that he beat the May 2025 timeline
