A powerful windstorm has damaged the newly constructed Kugbo Bus Terminal in Abuja, nine months after it was commissioned, raising fresh concerns over the project’s structural resilience.
The terminal, a ₦51 billion project, which construction was overseen by Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is a key component of efforts to modernise public transportation and ease traffic congestion in the nation’s capital.
Eyewitnesses told Kristina Reports that strong winds swept through the facility in the early hours of Wednesday, April 8, 2026, ripping through sections of the roofing and affecting parts of the external structure.
The incident has sparked questions about the integrity of the building, particularly given its scale and proximity to commissioning.
As of press time, the Federal Capital Territory Administration has not released an official statement detailing the extent of the damage.
The development has stirred reactions among residents and stakeholders, with growing calls for a thorough technical evaluation of the facility to ensure compliance with safety and construction standards.
The Kugbo Bus Terminal is one of several transport infrastructure projects introduced to streamline Abuja’s transit system, eliminate illegal motor parks, and improve commuter experience across the city.
Authorities are expected to assess the situation and provide further updates as investigations continue.
Kristina Reports will continue to monitor and provide updates on this developing story.
