The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has promised to complete the Abuja Rail Mass Transit (ARMT) System project.
The former Governor of Rivers State made the promise on Wednesday during a visit to the ARMT Metro Station, in Abuja.
Wike stated that measures were been put in place to resolve challenges affecting public transportation in the nation’s capital.
He noted that transportation is one of the sectors he intends to transform in a short time to improve public transportation in the capital city.
Wike said: “Transportation is one of the sectors we intend to intervene in the short term to reduce traffic congestion within the city.
“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?”
Wike noted that while there were other projects that were not completed, people would have confidence in the one that was completed and working.
He said that every project that commenced must be finished before embarking on another one, considering the availability of resources.
“I assured the public that the rail transport system is a project we will take to a logical conclusion.
“Before commencing another project, we will need to determine which areas are the most traffic areas. This is very important to decongest areas with traffic congestion,” he said.
