This announcement is expected to bring joy to residents and commuters in the nation’s capital, who have been eagerly awaiting the completion of the project.
According to Wike, the free ride initiative is aimed at introducing the new transportation system to the public and encouraging its adoption. The minister expressed confidence that the light rail will revolutionize transportation in Abuja, reducing congestion and travel time, while also promoting economic growth and development.
The Abuja Light Rail, which has been under construction for several years, is a 45-kilometer rail line that will connect the city center with satellite towns and suburbs. The project is expected to significantly enhance the transportation infrastructure of the FCT, making it more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Wike also disclosed that the FCT Administration has put in place measures to ensure the safety and security of passengers, including the deployment of security personnel and the installation of CCTV cameras at all stations.
