hi nairalanders,

in the past satellite towns has being hell living cos of the traffic situations.

there are 4 major satellite exit points in abuja namely

1. kubwa-suleja exit point (this also take u to kaduna) - the exit point is via maitama and katampe district

2. lugbe-kuje-airport exit point (this also take u to lokoja and other southern states) - the exit route is called shehu musa yarduwa way via the national stadium

3. karu-nyanya-mararaba-jikwoyi-kurudu-orozo exit point (this take u to nassarawa state) - the exit route is via asokoro (this has put asokoro in pressure traffic wise)

4. mpape exit point - close to maitama and villa


all these routes take you to the various satellite towns. mpape overtime has never being much of a problem taffic wise, but it has a greater percentage of slums but the earlier part close to maitama is taking a great shape today cos of the maitama pressure (lack of land, cost of land and proximity).

during senator Alero's tenure as minister, the expansion of airport road and kubwa-zuba road to 10 lanes each has brought about great relieve to people.
kubwa and lugbe route are taking shape now with relative ease in traffic. in the next one year, i for see a hassel free trip to these 2 areas.

going to karu satellite area is being quite difficult cos its route passes through asokoro and equally put ample stress on people living in asokoro. cos of the satellite towns here i.e karu, nyanya, jikwoyi, mararaba, kurudu, orozo and even keffi narassarawa state. the current minister will be openning alternative routes to ease this pressure and the routes are:

1. orozo connecting to apo
2. mpape connecting to nyanya.

will continue later battery low

the current minister sen Bala Mohammed proposed the new connection routes to ease the hold-up in karu exit route and honestly i dont see it coming on this year, but probably 2013.

the best satellite town to look on to now for rental properties is kubwa and lugbe

NOTE: please dont buy any plot along lugbe area if it is not in FHA or AMAC estate lugbe go to DEVELOPMENT CONTROL in zone 6 wuse
