The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, says construction of Arterial Road S1 from Ring Road II to FCT Fire Service Station in Kaura District, will significantly improve emergency response time.
Wike stated this during the inauguration of the project in Abuja on Tuesday.
The minister said ‘We have always talked about fire incidents and the response is not usually timely.
‘It’s not only the fact that maybe they may be lacking some basic amenities, but also they don’t have a good network of roads that will enable them to move quickly to resolve fire incidents.
‘By the time this road is constructed with a three-span bridge, of course anywhere there is any fire incident and they are called upon, they will respond immediately,
‘Again, this is also to contribute to the efficiency in their job delivery.” he said (NAN).
Wike said that the road would be slightly above two kilometres but a very important road that would open up the Kaura District.
