Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has assured that the Abuja Rail Mass Transit Scheme also known as the metro line will be inaugurated in May this year.
The FCT Minister gave the assurance in Abuja on Friday during an inspection tour of the ongoing renovation and rehabilitation works on the Abuja metro line. Wike said the rehabilitation exercise was about 97 per cent complete and assured that it will be among the projects to be commissioned by President Bola Tinubu in May this year, to mark his one year in office.
Those of us who rode on the metro line, you will see that it’s more convenient to use the metro line than even the vehicles to go to the airport. “So, I’m really impressed with the contractor, CCECC. They have assured us that all the renovation works will be ready before the commissioning date. “I believe this will be the first project that Mr. President will like to inaugurate because it’s very key to the development of the economy, particularly as the FCT is concerned”.
