The federal government has approved the sum of N2.2 billion for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Bill Clinton Airport Drive by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

“The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the sum of N2.2 billion for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Bill Clinton Airport Drive by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
“Bill Clinton Drive is the spur road directly linking the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road with the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Expressway. It is a major national and international gateway to both the city of Abuja and the country.
“The scope of work includes removal of existing bitumen and pavements as well as carrying out asphalting, resurfacing shoulder dressing & provision of surface water drainage among others. The road, constructed in the early 1980s, has since exceeded its lifespan of 20 years,” the Presidency said in a statement.
