FG Approves N272.7m For Abuja Rail’s Feasibility Study, Design by Omooba77: 1:35pm On Nov 19, 2014 |
The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved award of contract for the consultancy services for the feasibility study and conceptual design of Lots 4,5 and 6 of the Abuja Rail Mass Transit network. Supervising Minister of Information, Dr. Nurudeen Muhammed; and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Muhammed, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the council’s meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan. Muhammed said during the meeting which lasted less than an hour, the council approved N272.7m for the contract that has a completion period of one year. He said the funding would be sourced from a provision of N280million in the 2014 FCT Statutory Appropriation for the project. He said, “The Minister of the FCT brought a memo to council seeking approval for the award of contract for the feasibility study and conceptual design of Lots 4, 5, and 6 of the Abuja Rail Mass Transit network for the Federal Capital Territory. “The FCT Rail Mass Transit system is designed primarily as mover of people within and between the satellite towns and the different phases of the city. “Also, the Abuja rail system will be integrated with the planned national rail network. “There is a provision of N280,000,000.00 in the 2014 FCT Statutory Appropriation for the project. “The projects upon completion will reduce traffic congestion, shorten journeys distances and reduce pressure on existing public transport services. “The project will also provide employment opportunities to about 5,000 skilled and unskilled workers while about 4,500 skilled workers will be engaged in the direct operation of the system on completion.” The FCT Minister explained that Lot 4 of the rail system is from Kuje to Karshi; Lot 5 from Kubwa to Bwari; and Lot 6 from Airport to Gwagwalada. He explained that Lot 2 of the rail system which will convey passengers from Nyanya to city centre up to Kubwa was the most viable with the government already getting interests from private sector to do it http://www.punchng.com/news/fg-approves-n272-7m-for-abuja-rails-feasibility-study-design/ |
