Use approved terminals or risk vehicle seizure – FCTA warns transport operators
📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has issued a stern warning to commercial transport operators in Abuja, mandating them to cease operations at illegal motor parks and roadside loading points. Mandate Secretary Mr. Chinedum Elechi emphasized that non-compliance will result in vehicle seizures, as part of an initiative to enhance security and modernize the transportation system in the capital. The FCTA has invested significantly in constructing new bus terminals in Mabushi, Kugbo, and the Central Business District, which are designed to improve public transport and reduce crime. Elechi noted that previous enforcement actions revealed illegal items in vehicles operating from unauthorized locations, highlighting security concerns. The FCTA aims to partner with private firms to manage these terminals and ensure a safe environment for transport operators. Despite earlier warnings and the impounding of over 100 vehicles, many operators continue to return to illegal loading points, prompting this renewed enforcement effort.
