Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has implemented a ban on the unauthorised transformation of public recreational areas into commercial car dealerships across Abuja. The prohibition targets parks and carports near Millennium Park, with the objective of addressing flooding issues plaguing certain areas of the city.
During an inspection of ongoing projects, Wike emphasized that those interested in the car trade should acquire land to conduct their businesses legally. The minister also announced the establishment of a specialized task force to enforce compliance and remove unauthorized auto dealers from green zones. Wike stated, "If you want to sell your car, you go and purchase somewhere and then develop it.
Not where you see green, you just go and start selling cars where a recreational park is supposed to be. We will not accept it again."
