The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Executive Committee has approved the award of a contract for the upgrade of streetlights on Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway (Ring Road I).
Mr Richard Dauda, acting Executive Secretary, Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), disclosed this while briefing journalists in Abuja.
Dauda said the project was among the seven approved memos submitted by the FCDA for consideration.
He explained that the project involves the upgrade of the obsolete streetlights on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway, a 14-kilometre 10-lane expressway from Maitama to Gudu.

“If you pass there in the night, you will realise that most parts of the road are in darkness. Because the streetlights have been there for close to 15 years now.
“The project was completed between 2005 and 2006, and the lights have become obsolete and no longer bright enough to lighten the road,” he said.
