Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has expressed outrage over the allocation of land designated for a bus terminal in the Central Business District to a politician.
Gatekeepers News reports that Wike described the action as a “gross distortion” of the Abuja Master Plan.
“We decided to build three terminals… but the land designated for the bus terminal in the Central Business District has been allocated to somebody,” Wike said at the inauguration of the Mabushi Bus Terminal.
“Leadership is about taking decisions, not everybody will be happy, but a decision must be taken.”
Wike noted that the lack of infrastructure in Abuja, including bus and taxi terminals, contributes to insecurity in the territory.
He explained that the construction of terminals is part of efforts to reduce insecurity under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
