Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has expressed great hope for the future of Addis Ababa, citing the success of the city corridors approach. He noted that the initiative began with four corridors in its first phase, followed by eight in the second.

The Prime Minister announced the completion of the Addis International Convention Center–Goro–VIP Airport corridor, a 12.74 km stretch. He highlighted that the project includes over 29 km of pedestrian walkways and 15.27 km of dedicated bike lanes.

The new corridor also features expanded road lanes, a new alternative road from Goro to Bole Airport, and extensive riverside development. Integrated into the route are seven sports centers, car parks, taxi and bus terminals, cafes, restaurants, and public toilets.

According to the Prime Minister, these developments have created jobs, improved accessibility, and strengthened the city's infrastructure. He stated that the achievement reflects "a different vision and a renewed work culture" and that the journey toward prosperity will continue without hurdles. While acknowledging that half of the city has been addressed so far, he reaffirmed the government's commitment to transforming the remaining areas.
