This Is Strategic!” – Wike Reveals Hidden Agenda Behind FCTA’s Massive Bus Terminal Projects

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has announced plans to construct additional bus terminals in the Bwari and Gwagwalada areas.

This move is part of broader efforts to protect residents and commuters from the threat of “one-chance” criminal operators across Abuja and its satellite towns.

Within less than a year since the terminal projects were initiated, the terminals in Mabushi and Kugbo are now ready for commissioning, while construction at the Central Area terminal is still ongoing.

During an inspection tour of the Ushafa to War College and Checkpoint Road dualisation project in Bwari Area Council, as well as the Abuja International Conference Centre, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike disclosed the development.

Wike emphasized the need for commuters to avoid boarding random vehicles and instead make use of the designated terminals once they become operational.

He stated:
“We’ve agreed to build a bus terminal in Gwagwalada and another in Bwari. This will give people the convenience of traveling from these areas directly to Mabushi, Kugbo, or the Central Area terminals.

With these facilities, residents will be able to use registered taxis and buses without the fear of falling victim to one-chance operators.”
