The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says the inauguration of commercial operations of the Abuja Rail Mass Transit system will now be on May 29, not May 27, as earlier announced.
Anthony Ogunleye, spokesman for the FCT minister, announced the change in a statement on Thursday.
Mr Ogunleye said President Bola Tinubu would perform the inauguration by 1:00 p.m. as part of activities to celebrate his one year in office.
