FCTA Suspends Park and Pay Scheme

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has announced the suspension of its park and pay scheme in Abuja.
This was announced yesterday in a statement signed by the Special Assistant on Media to the FCT Minister, Mr. Nosike Ogbuenyi.

The statement explained that the suspension was in compliance with the judgment of an FCT High Court last Thursday, declaring the system illegal.

The statement noted that the court in delivering the judgment rated the scheme as an excellent policy but only faulted it on the grounds that there was no valid legislation backing it.

It further stated that the Secretary of Transportation of the FCTA, Mr. Jonathan Ivoke, had already dispatched a letter to the operators of the scheme informing them of the suspension.
