According to the minister, the decision forms part of efforts to improve security and maintain order in the nation's capital.
Security Concerns Behind the Decision
Wike said commercial tricycles and motorcycles have increasingly become a security challenge in parts of the Federal Capital Territory, prompting the government to intensify enforcement against their operations in restricted areas.
Authorities are expected to begin stricter monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance with the directive.
Move to Remove Beggars and Destitute Persons
The FCT Minister also disclosed that the administration is taking steps to remove beggars and destitute persons from the streets of Abuja.
According to Wike, the Federal Capital Territory cannot continue to accommodate the growing number of people migrating from neighbouring states in search of opportunities.
Mixed Reactions Expected
The announcement is expected to generate mixed reactions among residents. While some may welcome the move as a step toward improving security and restoring order, others are likely to raise concerns about its impact on commercial transport operators and vulnerable individuals who depend on street activities for survival.
The FCT Administration is expected to provide further details on how the enforcement exercise will be carried out.
