The FCT minister visited the Central Metro Station, Idu Rail Station, and the Airport Rail Station, as part of his familiarisation tour to projects captured in his short-term plan.
“The Abuja Metro Rail project is one of the projects this administration wants to complete and put to use immediately, to reduce the traffic in the city.
The money for the rehabilitation of the project is there, we will make sure the contractor is paid to ensure that the project is completed and inaugurated in the next few months.” Wike advised senior officials of the FCTA Transportation Secretariat to ensure fencing of the stations, to prevent criminals from further gaining access.
The Minister also called on the company handling the rehabilitation project of the Metro Stations, the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation to do a better job.All rights reserved.
