In a meeting with traditional rulers and area council chairmen in Abuja, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, revealed that the FCT Administration is implementing measures to allow only registered taxis painted in Abuja colors to operate within the FCT.
He mentioned, “Very soon, we are going to roll out our buses, which will be painted in Abuja color. In that case, we will not allow taxis that are not painted in Abuja color to operate here, so that those ‘one chance’ will no longer be there.”
Wike further explained that the FCTA will establish bus terminals for different routes in the FCT, serving as the operational base for registered buses and taxis in the area.
“If we have three to four terminals, it will be designed in such a way that these vehicles will go to so so areas. If you are traveling to so so area, go to that terminal, and those that will operate there are taxis and buses that we have profiled, and we know them,” he emphasized.
