Following a growing concern over the increasing traffic gridlock within Abuja City Centre  the city, due to proliferation of illegal taxi parks, the Federal Capital Territory Administration, on Thursday commenced a massive cracking down on operators of such parks.


The Task Force combing  through the illegal parks located in Garki Areas 1, 8 and 10,  Apo Bridge, impounded over  50 vehicles. 
The Director,  Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS) Dr. Abdulateef Bello said the impounded vehicles violated several traffic rules, beside being parked at various unapproved parks, including improper registration. 


He noted that the exercise would be a routine duty  of the team, as there was need to ensure sustainability, while  the administration had put measures to close all the illegal parks.


According to him, the rickety vehicles will be put off the road, and owners of the impounded vehicles would be made to comply with all requirements of the law,  before they could get them back.
Bello while pledging to sustain the exercise,  also assured that officers who were injured by hoodlums in previous  operations would be adequately compensated.


Senior Special Assistant on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement to FCT Minister,  Ikharo Attah said FCT Minister has resolved to deal with all sectoral infractions, added that the Task Force will not stop its operations, until sanity is restore completely. 
Attah who has been heading the operations for City Cleaning,  noted that addressing the traffic issues deserved a special attention from the team, because FCT  residents deserve  a relief  from stress. 


He further explained that addressing troubling traffic issues within the city centre, was something the FCT Minister,  Malam Muhammad Bello craves for dearly and has made commitment to achieve.

    FCDA is unserious. For years, taxi operatoes and unpainted taxi operators had turned every road junction to illegal motor park. The media have written editorial upon editorial detailing the negative consequences yet the FCT authorities kept mute. It appears some of them are into that business. Probably, their vehicles have gone for repairs or majority out of the road. I don’t think they mean what they are doing. Let’s wait and see.
