The
big housing and transport crises in Abuja is as a result of wrongful
building process of Nigeria’s capital city, Minister of State Niger
Delta Affairs, Darius Dickson Ishaku, said in Abuja on September 12,
2013, Thursday.
The
Minister attended at the opening of Town Planners’ Day, where he said
the city was envisioned without putting into consideration the poor and
middle class of society.
“If I had the way, I would have first built the mass transit system, the railway before building the city,” he said.
Minister
of State Federal Capital Territory, Olajumoke Akinjide, said Abuja was
conceived to be administrative place, not for commercial or industrial
purpose.
National
president of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP), Steve Onu
whose addressed was read by the vice president, Bulus Sachi lamented
that plans for the city have not been followed in implementation.
