Background of the Study
Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has prioritized urban development and transportation reforms, including the improvement of public transportation systems in Abuja and its surrounding areas, such as Gwagwalada. Effective public transportation systems are essential for improving urban mobility, reducing traffic congestion, and enhancing economic activities. During his tenure as the FCT Minister, Wike has focused on improving the quality, accessibility, and affordability of public transportation services, especially in peri-urban districts like Gwagwalada.
The challenges in Gwagwalada include a lack of reliable and affordable public transport options, leading to over-dependence on informal transport services that are often inefficient and unreliable. Wike’s policies aim to address these challenges by introducing modernized public transportation systems, including the introduction of new bus fleets, the expansion of transport routes, and the establishment of transportation hubs. This study will examine the impact of these public transportation initiatives on mobility, economic activities, and residents’ quality of life in Gwagwalada.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the efforts to improve public transportation in Gwagwalada, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited funding, and resistance to new transport policies persist. This study seeks to evaluate whether Wike’s public transportation initiatives have been successful in addressing the mobility needs of residents, improving transportation efficiency, and contributing to economic development in Gwagwalada.
