Mr Wike said transportation is one of the sectors he intends to transform in a short time to improve public transportation in the capital city.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, inspected the Abuja Rail Mass Transit System rehabilitation project as the first official assignment.
“I know that we have a metro station in Abuja, and it is not working; why is it not working? Can we fix it within a short time,” he asked. “I assured the public that the rail transport system is a project we will take to a logical conclusion. “The money for the rehabilitation is on the ground, and I have already directed the Permanent Secretary, FCT Administration, Adesola Olusade, to make sure that the contractor is paid.
“We are in the ARMT Metro Station to look at what is on the ground, what the challenges are and what is expected of the ministry to move the transportation system to the next level.”
