ATTIA NASREDDIN’S ROYAL PACIFIC GROUP COMMENDS CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION OF LEVENTIS CLOSE, CBD ABUJA NIGERIA

Attia Nasreddin, on behalf of the management of Royal Pacific Group, together with its iconic, brand new landmark Fraser Suites Abuja, are extremely pleased that the promised construction work by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) has now commenced on what is easily, one of the very important internal road arteries, the Leventis Close, which is a spur linked to the popular Samuel Ademulegun Avenue located within the Central Business District (CBD) of the nation’s capital.

That this road artery is of tremendous public service benefit, is evidenced by the fact that it offers the most preferred access-cum-outlet for every commuter, arriving and driving through the very busy Samuel Ademulegun Avenue axis of the Business District. Here you find mega businesses and corporations such as Jinifa Plaza; PZ; Audit House; Securities & Exchange Commission Towers; Grand Square Supermarket; Abuja Capital-Leventis Motors, etc. Even more interesting and of immense futuristic relevance, is the fact that the main terminal of the soon-to-be commissioned Abuja light rail project, is located directly at the western flank end of Leventis Close; further underscoring why it is indeed a welcomed road construction project worthy to be commended by all and sundry.

The Central Business District is the leading, vibrant corporate business hub of Nigeria’s expansive capital city, Abuja. The district is home to huge numbers of multinationals, private sector players, governmental and nongovernmental entities. The vast intersections of major road networks (highways and bridges) within the district were designed and layered in a deliberate fashion; to facilitate ease of access in and out of the manifold chambers holding the various offices and businesses located and operating therein.

The Hon. Minister of the Federal Capital Mal. Muhammad Musa Bello not too long ago made a firm promise to quickly activate the opening up of additional, critical internal road arteries within and contiguous to the city. He had correctly detected that these types of roads were essential and vital infrastructure components, urgently needed in the Federal Capital city, especially within the Central Business District of Abuja, as part of the overall plan to create and sustain a better business enabling environment. In a very real and significant way therefore, the commencement last week of construction works on the Leventis Close stretch of road by construction giant, Julius Berger Plc, represents a major milestone. The Leventis Close artery extension work in the CBD will upon completion, make it truly convenient and beneficial for business owners and operators, as well as for tourists, visitors and other commuters and residents of the city, to navigate the neighbourhood with minimal or no stress at all.

The choice of construction firm – Julius Berger Plc - to handle the Leventis Close reconstruction project is signal to the demonstrate the Minister’s huge, progressive and unwavering commitment to deliver only the best quality for this project. Given the multidimensional, mix-use, increasingly complex and strategic nature of the business environment within this particular section of the Central Business District of Abuja, public expectation is high. This is because Julius Berger Plc, perhaps more than anyone else, possess vast knowledge from a historical standpoint, of the public infrastructure requirements of Abuja, inside-out. Business owners and operators are therefore optimistic that all public utility supply mains of electricity, water supply, drainages and sewage disposal lines, would be adequately, comprehensively and permanently sorted and completed as a once-for-all undertaking in the course of this fresh rehabilitative construction work on the Leventis Close road artery by Julius Berger Plc.

Accomplishing these tangential, yet crucial aspects of the work would meet the end of those objectives outlined by the Hon. Minister of the Federal Capital for these types of projects; and this is consistent with the desire by the Federal Government to once again restore implementation of the Abuja master-plan, in order to grow the status and profile of Abuja as an eminently befitting, business-friendly global capital, for Nigeria, Nigerians and the international community at large.
