Editorial FCT Return Of Park And Pay Policy In The FCT
Although Bodinga said the FCT Administration had embarked on various measures aimed at addressing the concerns raised by the court and the public concerning the scheme, we wonder if such measures take cognizance of the fact that such a policy will translate to more hardship for the residents.
Rather than concentrate on improving the deplorable state of infrastructure in the city and its satellite settlements, the administration, it seems, is more concerned about enforcing a traffic policy that, from all intent and purposes, will translate to more hardship for the residents with far-reaching negative implications.
Perhaps the FCTA needs to know that most Nigerians viewed its action as driven largely by the burning desire to get more revenue through levies. Rather than levying car owners through the park and pay policy in a bid to shore up its revenue, the FCTA should intensify efforts at recovering its multi-billion naira ground rent and other levies, and also block leakages within the system.
