Speaking after the meeting which also included an extensive tour of the OCC, the Permanent Secretary, FCTA, Mr Olusade Adesola said that the purpose of the visit to the Center was to review the project and determine what actions to be taken within the shortest possible time, to restore the Abuja Mass Rail Transit system back into operation.
In the words of the Permanent Secretary “The FCT Administration has made substantial investment in this project with the support of the Federal Government of Nigeria. You will recall that the project was test run shortly after it was commissioned and thereafter, the advent of the COVID pandemic resulted in a forced closure and suspension of the operations.
On security, Mr Olusade said that in preparation for the resumption of operations, measures had been put in place to ensure the  security of the entire length of the light rail system in addition to the security that will be provided on board by other government agencies.
“So, for the security of Abuja Rail Mass Transit, it is guaranteed. When we resume operations, everybody can travel in it safely” the Permanent Secretary added.
