Authority of the Nigerian Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has hinted that the Abuja Metro train Station which was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic will soon resume operations.
The Secretary, Transport Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Zakari Dobi made this known while on a familiarisation tour of the Abuja Metro Station facility in the nation’s capital Abuja.
Dobi who expressed displeasure over the current environment of the train station disagreed with the fact that the place was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He vowed to ensure that the place is kept clean even before resuming operation, adding that the major aim of every administration is to generate revenue.
According to him, “That is the major reason why we embarked on this familiarization tour, first to see how the equipment in Metro Station and other places are and what can be done. The entire place looks very dirty.
“I was told that the place was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But I felt that it was not enough to leave the place dirty. We are going to meet internally and ensure that we clean the Metro Station and see possible ways for operations to resume as quickly as possible.
“I think the major aim of every administration is to generate revenue. From Idu to Basangu to the airport is having issues”.
