Mr Adesola explained that the scheme was suspended in 2014 by an Abuja High Court, on grounds that it was not backed by a law.
He also said that the earlier implementation was without the approval of the Federal Executive Council .He, however, said that the FCTA has put a regulation in place and secured FEC’s approval, to ensure a smooth implementation of the scheme, considering its benefits.
“So, while the agreement is being signed today, the commencement of the park and pay is not starting today. Earlier, Wadata Bodinga, director of Traffic Management, Transportation Secretariat of the FCTA noted that the increasing population growth in the FCT was accompanied by congestion and traffic challenges.
According to him, the scheme will enable customers to find easy parking spaces, thereby saving time and fuel, especially with the removal of fuel subsidy.
