In another powerful stride toward modernizing Nigeria’s infrastructure and improving public life, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, today reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sustainable development and public safety through high-impact transportation investments.
Speaking through Senate President Godswill Akpabio at the commissioning of the Kugbo International Bus and Taxi Terminal in Abuja, the President declared that his government is prioritizing infrastructure that not only meets global standards but also directly enhances the everyday experiences of Nigerians.
“My administration will continue to prioritize the safety of Nigerians through investment in modern infrastructure that will stand the test of time,” he stated.
Public Transport as a Pillar of Progress
According to President Tinubu, the decision to place transportation infrastructure at the forefront of his development blueprint is no accident. It is based on a fundamental truth:
“No nation around the world has been recorded to have made any reasonable progress without modernization and expansion of its critical public mobility utilities.”
This belief is at the heart of the Renewed Hope Agenda — a holistic commitment to rebuild, revitalize, and reimagine Nigeria’s foundational systems, from roads and railways to bus terminals and bridges.
A New Era for Abuja’s Commuters
The Kugbo Terminal, following closely on the heels of the Mabushi Bus Terminal, stands as a model of smart urban mobility — designed with transit-oriented development, sustainability, and public comfort in mind.
“The terminals automatically erase the ugly experiences of chaotic public transportation in our capital city, previously fraught with long-standing challenges,” the President said.
The new facility is equipped with cutting-edge features that cater to efficiency, safety, and accessibility, signaling a clear departure from decades of underdeveloped and poorly managed public transport systems.
Beyond Infrastructure — A Commitment to People
What makes this milestone more than just a physical achievement is its direct impact on the daily lives of residents and commuters. The new terminals are expected to:
- Improve connectivity within the Federal Capital Territory
- Reduce travel time and urban traffic congestion
- Promote environmental sustainability through efficient transport flow
- Create jobs and stimulate local commerce
“We heard your concerns. We understood your fears. And we acted,” President Tinubu emphasized.
A Vision Taking Shape, One Terminal at a Time
This commissioning is not an isolated event, but part of a larger national transformation strategy — a deliberate move to build cities that work, systems that function, and infrastructure that uplifts.
With each terminal built, each road paved, and each reform enacted, the Tinubu-led administration is sending a clear message: Renewed Hope is not just a slogan — it’s a lived reality for millions.
As Abuja’s skyline evolves and its streets become more orderly and functional, the nation moves closer to the dream of a prosperous, well-connected, and secure Nigeria.
The commissioning of the Kugbo International Bus and Taxi Terminal is a powerful symbol of what is possible when leadership meets vision, and vision meets action. It reflects President Tinubu’s steadfast resolve to transform lives through thoughtful, people-centered governance.
Renewed Hope is here!
