The 45-kilometer long Abuja Light Rail is ready for operation barring minor delay at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Station to be resolved this month, the FCT Administration said yesterday.

The Transport Secretary, FCTA, Kayode Opeifa, said that Lot A and Lot 3 of the entire stretch, which terminates at Bazango, is ready for operation.

He disclosed that the project, which was ready since December last year, was held up at the Abuja airport, where there was a need for the train station and the terminal to be in place for the train to run.

“We are told that will be ready this month and the train terminal of just 20 metres link is ready, and that the president will inaugurate it, “ Opeifa said.

He said 12 stations, 21 operational offices, 13 bridges, 50 culverts and nine pedestrian overpasses are all 100 percent completed.

The light rail is also touted for its uniqueness as the first rail in the country without pedestrian crossing.
It will pass through about 12 satellite towns and boost economic activities along the corridor of Gwagwa, Kalgoni, DeiDei, Kubwa, Kokoaba, Asa and Dasonga, among others.

These are pictures from the construction to the completion to the training of staffs in pictures.

Well done GEJ



runs out of thread for dear life with Buharists not far behind

Nice one. Kudos to GEJ.

Cool

Wow!



Now, this is looking classic.


Finally, we can smile for something in this administration

enonche85:


Point of correction, this is an initiative of the previous administration.

An "initiative" isn't complete without execution.


Conceive-plan-action-execute-appraise.

Thank you pmb

Wetin dey worry these Chinese people, must they put their chinko writing on everything they do?

Legacy Of a Great Leader

How many times we want see this?

ok

Still searching for a significant infrastructural project we'll remember Bubu for, after he's sent back to his Daura farm in 2019.

Nigerians will send the opposite of prayer to him in Daura after the Lord must have restored our captivity.

can u see dat?

Wow

HOw fast are they??

Will it be maintained? Not in 7yrs time, everything will b like it never existed.

Y did dis guys abandoned dat of Lagos Na.... Thumbs up to GEJ

Those saying Weldon GEJ should not forget to ask him for the commissioning.

Whether GEJ or PMB, it was done by the Federal government. After all, neither of them did it with their personal money. We pay and maintain the luxurious lifestyle of these public officials so that they can deliver with our collective money. So, irrespective of who started or completed it,I say weldone the Federal government of Nigeria.

The North keeps advancing while the southerners continue to argue who has the best waec results.

Ameachi Rotimi still waiting for ur monorail in port Harcourt. U just wasted Rivers people money

Kudos to PMB who understand that governance is a continuum, who understand the difference between a NEED and WANT, Some senseless leaders will choose to finish that centenary whatever over this laudable project.

Finally, I wonder why this had to span three regimes to be concluded. Every state should have something like this, it’s doable

This again ,??

APC is so desperate to show that PMB has done something



The words of bill gates comes to mind

They neglected human capital and whrw busy looking and creating media propaganda

Now this is the result , trying so hard to justify a reelection yet nothing tangible to back their argument

Thank u GEJ.

Don't mind them. Like we didn't pay them.

Thank u GEJ

This is Buhari's project because it was completed by him. I don't want to c any GEJ on this thread.
Tell me why GEJ didn't commission it and u want him to claim this massive project
