Wike discloses plans to overhaul FCT transport sector
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, has said plans have been concluded to introduce reforms in the FCT transportation sector to improve safety and comfort.
Wike said this in Abuja on Friday, after he inspected the completed Kugbo and Mabushi Bus and Taxi Terminals in preparation for inauguration to celebrate President Bola Tinubu second year in office.
The minister also inspected the completed access road to Giri District, which is also ready for inauguration.
Wike said there would be a lot of reforms, adding that a lot of things would happen in the transportation sector in the FCT.
He said a committee was already working on the reforms, which would be ready before the bus and taxi terminals would be inaugurated.
“Obviously, a lot of things will happen in the transport sector in the FCT. There will be a lot of reforms. Because as part of security measures, we must know those involved in taxi business and what colour to use, so that if anything happens, we will be able to identify them.
“Just be assured that we are doing everything possible to strengthen our transportation system,” he said.
Speaking of the quality of the project, Wike expressed satisfaction with the delivery of the project, adding, however, that he had pointed out some areas that needed to be corrected.
