Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Transport Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has assured residents of Abuja of adequate security when the Abuja Light Rail begins operations.<\/p>\n

The Secretary of the secretariat, Mr. Ubokutom Nyah, gave the assurance on Wednesday after inspecting the ongoing rehabilitation of the metro rail line project in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Ltd. (CCECC), handling the rehabilitation project, had, during a visit to Vice President Kashim Shettima, pledged to complete the Abuja Rail Mass Transit (ARMT) system by May 2024.<\/p>\n

Nyah said the provision of security was in line with the vision of the secretariat \u2013 security, affordability, and flexibility.<\/p>\n

He added that the security of the light rail operation ratio was paramount, adding that the strategies to secure the rail tracks had been put in place.<\/p>\n

He expressed optimism that the expected commercial operation of the Abuja light rail would commence earlier than expected.<\/p>\n

The secretary said the vandalised parts of the tracks had been fixed while communication cables were being imported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that the nine-month completion scheduled period will come earlier. The residents of the FCT are in for a big surprise and a good time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have gone through over 60 per cent of the rail tracks, and I can convincingly state that the vandalised parts of the tracks have been duly completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cleaning is going on, and I am told that the communication cables are already on the port and will soon come in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe completion of the ARMT might come sooner than it was expected because what we have seen today is a great job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
