President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, 4th June commissioned the Arterial Road N20 in Abuja and named it the Wole Soyinka Way.

In his address President Tinubu said his heart was filled with joy and pride and commended the FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike and his team for their hard work and dedication to the development of the nation's capital.

The President also stressed the importance of investing in infrastructure to sustain the growth of the FCT and said the FCT Minister and his team were doing a great job in increasing the value of the FCT.

Ordinary village road is an achievement of a president in 2024. Unimaginable.

Make president dey leave his office dey commission Road with ribbon in 2024

If you see how Wole Soyinka was denigrated on Facebook; falsehood spread about his credibility and Nobel prize, you'll begin to wonder if he would survive such hatred and vitriol.

This is a Yoruba man that fought, and even went to prison for the Igbos Biafran cause

BUT WHEN GOD CHOOSES TO BLESS A MAN, NO HORDE FROM HELL CAN STOP IT!

Congratulations my Erudite Scholar.

Africa's FIRST, and Nigeria's ONLY Nobel laureate in Literature: Professor Wole Soyinka 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

They spent more than $60B, they forget that a transmission line is a super highway….. they could not even make a down payment for a roasted 🌽

You don leave road commissioning begin dey talk about another thing. Let's talk about it.

Nobody actually knows people's stance on fairness, justice and equity until their own people are involved. We all know Sonyinka criticised Jonathan and Buhari. He called Patience Jonathan unprintable names.

The moment it got to the turn of his friend and tribesman who has made the economy much worse than he met it, instead of calling his attention to it, he's in the media all the time talking about Peter Obi. This is the same tactics BATerians employ here on Nairaland.

Shunning tribalism or being able to tell truth to power is a choice; education and travelling around the world cannot change it.

That man don old o.

Good

This is lovely!

We need Obedient road in Abia!

Well deserved .
👏

Omoluabi

Congratulations Prof. Wole Soyinka.
More infrastructure and more Human Development I pray for this Nation.

God Bless Me.
God Bless You.
God Bless Everyone.

President shud fix the dámaged country instead of naming road

If wike dey commission project like dis every year.... He'll complete all Abuja roads

when obi becomes his online president in 2040, he can rename all the anambra road after the kwarshiokor woman that refuses the national anthem.

Soyinka, the later day tribalist

Headline says "Pictures of Arterial road N20", but you ended up showing us one picture of the road and three pictures of one unfortunate white man in a baseball cap. Are we supposed to be impressed by the pictures of the albino? What's his relevance to this discourse?

settlement for treachery

Spend 500 million building road. Then 1 billion commissioning same. Is all those ceremonies necessary?

Building of roads no suppose dey announcements again....

Make them do something wey carry weight

I observed two things in this gathering
1. Wike is wearing an oversized shoes.
2. Wike is also having waist pain

I come in peace

Ok at the rate at which Minister Wike is going with projects which is very commendable, he can Construct road in another country if he becomes an ambassador.

Nice one for Abuja people.

Nice
