Minister of Federal Capital Territory(FCT) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike said that the Abuja Rail Mass Transit (ART) is 97 per cent completed and will be commissioned by May 29.
Wike made this known on Friday after he inspected the station at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport and the Metro Station in Central Area Abuja.
The minister stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the schedule for the inauguration of projects to celebrate his one year in office and described the project as a dream come true.
“For me, it is a dream come true, and we are happy that after all is said and done, the metro line will be put to use for Nigerians, come May 29,” Wike said.
“We are very happy. We are almost 97 per cent completed. All works are ongoing to make sure that the May delivery date is a reality.
“I believe this is one of the projects Mr President would like to inaugurate because it is very key to the development of the economy.”
