The Federal Capital Territory Administration’s (FCTA) Ministerial Task Force on City Sanitation and Management has declared that in the upcoming year, individuals who disobey the Abuja Master Plan will face increasingly severe penalties.
The warning was given by Mukhtar Galadima, the FCT Administration’s Director of Development Control, to reporters after the Task Force’s year-end celebration in Abuja.
Galadima called on those planning to build homes in Abuja to follow the Master Plan and associated guidelines, stressing that the city’s development is controlled by law and the Master Plan’s requirements. Additionally, he emphasized the significance of keeping Abuja clean and conducting business in approved places.
Galadima made it clear that the event served as both a celebration of the Task Force’s accomplishments in 2023 and a forum for contemplation on past triumphs, present difficulties, and potential future directions.
Dr. Peter Olumuji, Secretary of FCTA Command and Control, said that the Task Force has determined to pursue different enforcement activities in 2024 to restore the Abuja Master Plan, complying with the order of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. Olumuji advised citizens of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) not to partake in illicit activities, as the Task Force is dedicated to tackling them.
He highlighted the security agencies in the Task Force’s commitment to working together to achieve more significant outcomes in the coming year.
The Directorate of Road Traffic Services’ Head of Operations, Mrs. Deborah Osho, reaffirmed the Task Force’s resolve to step up efforts in 2024 and promised to clean up Abuja and get rid of illegal motor parks and motorcycle routes.
