The Federal Capital Territory Administration has announced the suspension of its on-street park and pay scheme in Abuja with immediate effect.
A statement by the Special Assistant on Media to the FCT Minister, Nosike Ogbuenyi, said the suspension was in deference to the judgment of an FCT High Court last Thursday (the last work day before the Easter break) declaring the syste,m illegal.
According to the statement, the Secretary of Transportation of the FCT Administration, Jonathan Achara Ivoke, has already dispatched a letter to the operators of the scheme informing them of the suspension.
The on-street park and pay scheme was conceived and launched by the FCT Administration for the purpose of effective traffic management and control in the Nation’s Capital City especially against the backdrop of its fast growth in vehicular population.
