The Central Area is very active in the day but becomes like a ghost town by night whereas the major residential districts are passive most of the day and only a bit lively at evenings; at weekends the whole city is much less active. The new downtown will be developed in such a mix as to support 24/7 human traffic and activities.
The design and construction of the boulevards and the development of the individual plots on the boulevards, which may run concurrently, are expected inject well over N250billion into the economy and significantly raise the GDP as well as employment. Both the design and the construction of the boulevards will done to international standards projected to be completed in two years.

The Abuja Boulevard is the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration's top priority project that was originally in the City's Master Plan to improve and boost economic and social activities in the FCT. The geographical location of the FCT makes it accessible from/to most of the continent's capital cities thus making it Africa's potential hub for commercial, financial and political activities.The absence of the Boulevards and arterial roads greatly contributed to the under development of the City's Central Area.
