Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), reacted angrily on Monday to the allotment of land for a bus terminal in Abuja’s Central Business District.
Wike, who filed the protest at the start of building on the Mabushi Bus Terminal, Phase I in Abuja, condemned the conduct as a blatant distortion of the Abuja Master Plan.
He said that the FCT Administration opted to establish three terminals, one in the Central Business District, one in Mabushi, and one in Kugbo, to provide commuters with a safe and pleasant travel experience in the territory.
He did, however, say that the site intended for the bus terminal in the Central Business District, where a rail track was supposed to pass through, had been assigned to someone.
He said:
“When we went there to start preparation for the inauguration project last Tuesday, I received a text that I had taken somebody’s land, and I was surprised.
“In fact, in that text message, the person said, ‘after his sacrifices and inputs to the party, is this what he will suffer?”.
“When I enquired, we found out that the place has been given out and Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) had been signed, even consent judgement has been entered between FCTA and the person.”
