Abuja, Jan. 31, 2024 – Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has announced May 29, 2024 as the inauguration date of the Abuja Light Rail project.
He made the announcement while inspecting the project on Wednesday as he expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the work done.
The minister affirmed the commitment of the FCT in meeting the project’s delivery date of May 29.
He said the formal inauguration would be done by President Bola Tinubu in commemoration of his one-year tenure in office.
“This is part of our routine inspection of ongoing projects to see what the contractors have been doing.
“We are working day and night to see that we fulfill the promise we made to President Tinubu and residents of the FCT that by May, Mr President will ride on the Metro line.
“We want to have access roads to the various train stations, because if you do not create access roads to the communities who will be using the train, then the aim is defeated,’’ he said. (GBN)
