News AMAC Fights FCTA Over ‘Park And Pay’ Policy In Abuja
“The FCTA should hands off the policy which has been planned to take off by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Because if it is allowed to return, it will affect revenue generation in the council.“We want to clearly warn that nobody should cajole the minister to do the wrong thing. We know that the minister is law-abiding.
“We want to say clearly as AMAC, we reject whatever action that will be introducing park and pay from the FCT Administration, it is not their duty, it is the duty of the local government, we have it in our laws, in our by-laws, in our acts, whatsoever you want to define it, and it has been both in the court of law, and it is clear that it is our responsibility.
“There are so many laws FCTA should concentrate on, not the ‘park and pay’. We have issues like that of the train station, people are dying, and neighboring communities are sacrificed for train stations and railways. They should go and attend to those issues, we know how people’s bags are been snatched in train stations.
“I think the FCTA has enough job to do, rather than concentrating on how to collect park and pay or cooperate parking or whatever it is called. It is solely the responsibility of AMAC and we have all the manpower required to enforce it and ensure that we get it done,” Yusuf stated.
