97% complete, Nigerian FCT Minister Nyesom Wike announces Abuja Rail Mass Transit (ART) project ready for inauguration in May.

Nigerian FCT Minister Nyesom Wike announces the Abuja Rail Mass Transit (ART) project, also known as Abuja Light Rail, is 97% complete. The project, expected to be ready for inauguration in May, aims to improve transportation infrastructure in the capital and contribute to Nigeria's economic development. The ART project will run from the Metro Station in Central Area to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, providing a convenient mode of transportation for passengers. The FCT Administration has paid contractual obligations for the project, despite its high costs, with plans to provide rail services in densely populated areas like Nyanya being considered in future phases.
