Abuja to spend $272m on construction of 5.76km railway track
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has approved $272 million to construct a 5.76km rail track in the federal capital territory.
This was disclosed by Zakari Dobi, mandate secretary of the FCTA transport secretariat, while inspecting the vandalised light rail track, station, and Idu training centre on Monday in Abuja.
He said that the bill for the construction of the rail track was before the FCTA permanent secretary and it would then make its way to the FCT minister’s table.
He hoped that the minister who had so much concern for the Abuja light rail project would quickly approve the bill.
“Two things informed this outing. Firstly, to be able to again evaluate and assess the level of vandalisation on the track,” NAN quoted him as saying.
