Airport Road

Airport Road, also known as Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Expressway, is a major arterial route in Abuja connecting the city center to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and extending toward emerging suburbs like Centenary City. This corridor has undergone significant transformation under Minister Nyesom Wike’s urban renewal initiatives, with expansions planned through 2026 including multi-lane upgrades, improved drainage systems, and integration with light rail projects. The area’s strategic positioning makes it a gateway for both domestic and international travelers, fostering commercial hubs with shopping complexes, hotels, and office spaces. Infrastructure developments, such as enhanced power grids and fiber optic networks, are attracting tech firms and logistics companies, boosting economic activity and property demand.
