1. In furtherance of the commitment to opening up the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda, the FCT Minister Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike has said that the FCT Administration will expand the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) from Ring 1 to Ring Road II, also known as Lokogoma Junction in Abuja.

2. To this end, the FCT Minister embarked on the inspection of the ongoing construction of the left-hand service carriageway of the OSEX from Ring Road 1 (Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway) to Wasa Junction on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

3. Addressing journalists shortly after the inspection exercise, the Minister said the expansion of the road will reduce traffic bottlenecks around the area and enhance business operations in the Abuja capital city.

4. He expressed satisfaction with the speed and quality of work on the road project being undertaken by CGC Group, as well as confidence that the six-lane dual carriage way expansion, from Ring road 1 to Ring road 11, being proposed on the road will be executed by the contractor.

5. The Minister said, “We came out from the OSEX where you saw what CGC is doing on the left hand service carriageway of two lanes. Now we want to expand because that alone will not reduce the traffic bottleneck.


6. “So, there is a need that we have to do another six lanes to take it down to Lokogoma. In that case, we will be able to reduce the traffic by about 95 percent”.

7. Speaking on the Apo Mechanic Village traders along the road corridor of the OSEX, the Minister assured that the Committee on the relocation of the traders was doing its job to relocate them to a permanent site in Wasa in the overriding interest of the public.


8. He said the traders were already aware that the road project will pass through the area, adding that the FCTA was not envisaging any problem on the issue of relocating the traders.

9. The Minister said, “The Committee is doing their work. You know that the road is going to pass through that area. So, that is not going to be a problem. We have told them that when we get to that point, they have no choice but to leave for the interest of everybody. It’s not for anybody’s particular interest. It’s for the public”.
