The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has declared the Park and Pay scheme currently operating in Abuja as illegal, vowing to take swift action against the operation.
Mr Wike said this during a media parley on Wednesday in Abuja to commemorate his first anniversary in office.
He was inaugurated as minister on 21 August 2023 by President Bola Tinubu.
Recall that the scheme operators had hitherto charged motorists some amount of money for parking their vehicles in areas of FCT, without which they clamp the tyres of the vehicle./###
