It\u2019s the same thing with the one in Mabushi as well,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>He explained that both terminals are built for both inter-city and within-city (intracity) transportation, while a third terminal still under construction in the Central Business District (CBD) is focused mainly on city transport.<\/p>\n<p>Otunola speaking on job creation said each terminal will provide employment to at least 100 people in areas such as security, ticketing, facility management, electrical and mechanical departments, and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like running a mini airport. You have control rooms, lifts, escalators, waiting areas, loading bays, and even shopping and cinema spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Otunola described the new terminals as a big step forward in Abuja\u2019s transport system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore now, Abuja has always been about car and road transportation. For the first time, the government has invested in public transport that brings comfort and safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis place gives you safety, comfort, and convenience to travel. You can eat, shop, and rest while waiting for your bus. This is how it is done in other parts of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Otunola praised President Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for trusting a Nigerian company to handle the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel very happy and proud that the government is beginning to trust its own people to handle big projects like this. If they didn\u2019t believe in us, we wouldn\u2019t have achieved this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also supported Wike\u2019s decision to allow private companies to manage the terminals for better service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>However, Otunola said more terminals are needed to properly serve Abuja residents. \u201cWe will need one in Gwagwalada, one in Kuje, Gwarinpa, Lugbe, and also in city areas like Area 1, Area 3, Wuse, and other key places,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>President Tinubu, who was represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, said the terminals would boost business, improve order, and make commuting safer and more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, FCT Minister Wike said the terminals will stop people from waiting by the roadside and falling into the hands of \u201cone chance\u201d criminals.<\/p>\n<p>He thanked President Tinubu for supporting efforts to modernize public transport in the capital city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
