The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has described the current state of public transport system in the nation’s capital as “a national embarrassment.”
The minister made this comment after inspecting modern bus terminals slated for commissioning to mark President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second year in office.
The minister promised a modern, secure, and efficient transport system that offers a glimpse into what a functional capital city can become — one where movement is safe, predictable, and dignified.
The minister commended the local contractors handling the project and called for improvement in the quality of their deliveries.
”I am very happy with what I’ve seen,” the Minister told journalists. “But when you see some errors, you have to point them out. That doesn’t mean you’re not satisfied. The last time we came here, I expressed my dismay. This time, I can say there’s clear improvement, and by the time we return for commissioning, it will be something else entirely,” the minister said.(Daily trust)
