Wike moves to restore Abuja Rail Transit
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, said his administration would instantly begin to revive the abandoned Abuja light rail system and get it working in a few months.
He disclosed this during his inspection of the rail and the rail stations as he lamented the state of the infrastructure.
Former President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned the Abuja Rail Transit in July 2018, but it failed to take off.
Abuja areas mapped for demolition
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has revealed that 30 areas in Abuja might be affected by demolishing illegal structures.
The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, had also vowed that illegal structures in green areas of Abuja would be flattened.
According to the FCTA, 6,000 buildings had been mapped out in their last survey for demolition, and more might still be affected.
What Abuja residents are saying about Wike
Legit.ng reported that residents of Abuja have started expressing their thoughts on the appointment of Nyesom Wike as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) less than 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu inaugurated him.
On Monday, August 21, Wike informed Abuja residents of his plans to revitalise the city and return it to its status as a model metropolitan city.
The former Rivers State governor reeled out his plans, which range from demolishing structures distorting the master plan of Abuja, revitalising the urban transport system, and banning motorcycles and tricycles, among others.
