FCT Minister Nyesom Wike criticized the allocation of land meant for a bus terminal in Abuja’s Central Business District, describing it as a significant departure from the Abuja Master Plan. During the inauguration of the Mabushi Bus Terminal Phase I, he disclosed that the designated land, crucial for a planned train track, had been given to another party.

Despite the controversy, Wike proceeded with the terminal’s inauguration at Mabushi, highlighting the difficulties in maintaining the integrity of Abuja’s Master Plan amidst conflicting interests and distortions. He stressed the importance of constructing terminals in strategic locations like Mabushi and Kugbo to improve commuter convenience and safety, underscoring the city’s need for enhanced infrastructure to achieve world-class status.
