No fewer than the three Modern bus terminus has been proposed in strategic locations within the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Abuja
This was made known by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike while carrying out inspection of an ongoing road project linking Ushafa, a community under Bwari Area Council in Abuja on Saturday.
Wike said that the terminals will be established alongside the ones in Mabushi, Kugbo and the central business area.
The Minister stated that the initiative are part of the Renewed Hope Agenda aimed at making safer and more organized for residents, especially those in satellite towns.
“We have agreed that we’re going to establish one in Gwagwalada and one in Bwari, so that people can board buses or taxis directly to the city from Bwari to Mabushi, Kugbo or the central business area”.
He emphasized that the initiative will drastically reduce the menace of “one chance” criminal activities and restore confidence in public transportation.
“By the time we’ve done that, people will be safe, people will be secured. If after that someone chooses to wait on the road, then that’s no longer the government’s problem. We would have done our part,” he said.
Wike also revealed that several major infrastructure projects are now nearing completion across the FCT, and will be commissioned in alignment with the second anniversary of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
“We believe that by the first week of June, by the grace of God, we’ll begin commissioning. Some will be done by Mr. President himself, especially key projects in both the cities and satellite towns,” he disclosed.
The Minister expressed optimism that the commissioning activities will commence shortly after the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
