Abuja, May 23, 2024 – The federal government has offered 2-month free ride services to passengers on the Abuja Light rail after its inauguration on Monday.
Nyesom Wike, The FCT Minister, disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday at a ministerial press briefing on the one year in office of President Bola Tinubu.
He said President Tinubu would inaugurate the rail project on Monday, while it would start commercial services on Tuesday.
“For those who are saying that the rail system had already been commissioned, don’t make a mistake. What was earlier commissioned was the building. What we want to commission on Monday is commercial operations.
“If you are going to the airport, from here to airport is 20 minutes. Seeing is believing. Go on Tuesday. We are going to allow for free rides for two months.
“You know, Mr. President, he can even say extend it to six months just to reduce the pain of our people. That is renewed hope agenda. When you say something, you do it,” Wike said. (GBN)
