Federal Capital Territory Administration would start the test run of the Rail Mass Transit by middle of November.
According to Muhammad Bello, Minister, Federal Capital Territory, the contractor handling the Abuja Rail Mass Transit is expected to complete work on the project by October.
Making the promise when he received a delegation of the Federation of Tourism Associations of Nigeria led by its President, Tomilola Akingbogun, the minister said that by December, the administration intended to temporarily open the rail services for the Lots 1A and 3 to the general public for usage.
