Wike Stops Use Of FCT Green Areas As Car Dealership Lots, Others

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has directed the immediate stoppage of the use of green areas, parks and gardens in the capital city as car dealership Lots.

The development, according to the statement, is part of the efforts of the FCT Administration to manage flooding being experienced in some parts of the Federal Capital City.

Consequently, a Task Force has been set up to enforce this directive.

Also, the Minister has directed the investigation of some civil servants responsible for granting illegal approvals authorising the use of green areas as car dealership lots.

The affected civil servants, particularly the Directors of Parks and Recreation, Environmental Protection, Traffic Management and Urban Affairs, have been summoned by the FCT Head of Service, Nancy Sabanti Nathan.
