President Bola Tinubu has charged the inhabitants of Gomani, Dafa, and Yangoji within the Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory to actively protect the newly inaugurated Gomani–Dafa–Yangoji Road. Speaking on the project’s completion, the President emphasized that the regime of uncompleted public infrastructure across the country has officially drawn to a close.

The President’s message was delivered by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during the formal opening ceremony of the thoroughfare, as detailed in a statement released by the media aide to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, June 30.

Tinubu stressed that the ultimate duty of preserving the structural integrity of the highway now falls upon the host communities. He admonished the local population to view the infrastructure as a shared legacy meant to serve both current and upcoming generations. Addressing traditional rulers, community stakeholders, agriculturalists, merchants, and local youths, the President maintained that the infrastructure belongs to the public and must be heavily guarded against abuse.

The World Bank has commended the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for its effective implementation of the Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) project, describing it as a national benchmark after a three-year review.

During a field visit to Kwali Area Council, World Bank Practice Manager for West and Central Africa, Ellysa Baroudy, praised the project’s impact after engaging with residents in Pukafa and Sheda 1 communities.

“It is always difficult to implement a program, but ACReSAL has succeeded in Nigeria,” Baroudy said. “We don’t always have successful projects, but this is a successful project.”

She noted that while the World Bank provides funding, “the FCT stakeholders knew how to deploy the resources to make a difference in people’s lives.”

Dr. Joy Iganya Agene, the World Bank’s Task Team Leader for ACReSAL, emphasized the importance of traditional leadership. “Before we engage with any community, we first pay homage to the traditional rulers,” she said.

FCT Agriculture Mandate Secretary, Abdullahi Suleiman Ango, called ACReSAL a “game-changer,” citing strong oversight by the Minister-led Steering Committee.

Project Coordinator Caroline Opara added, “Every component of ACReSAL has been implemented in Kwali. It is the heart of our interventions.”
