The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has expressed its readiness to clampdown on commercial vehicles that are not painted the specified colours.
The Head, Public Relations Unit of the FCT Transport Secretariat, Mr Ifeanyi Ughamadu, made this known to newsmen in Abuja recently. He noted that the deadline for the registration of unpainted commercial vehicles is 1 October, after which the hunt will begin.
He added that all commercial drivers are expected to register with any of the recognised licensed taxi operators, and the secretariat would have their data captured.
“The FCTA has directed the Vehicle Inspection Office and other law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for enforcement,” he said. “Any `kabu kabu’ that violates the law will be apprehended.”
Mr Ughamadu added that the secretariat came up with a policy in order to curb crime perpetuated by taxi drivers in the territory.
