  "account": "The Association of Motor Dealers of Nigeria (AMDON) is urging FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to meet with them and reconsider the ban on unauthorized car dealerships operating in Abuja's green zones. Prince Ajibola Adedoyin, the National President of AMDON, revealed this to reporters in Abuja. He stated that despite previous attempts by several FCT Ministers since 2001 to find a solution, the issue remains unresolved. In 2001, Nasir El Rufai suggested relocation to Tunga Maje, but subsequent efforts, including attempts by Bala Mohammed in Lower Usuma Dam and Mohammed Musa Bello in Dakwo District, have either been deemed unsuitable or led to litigation. Despite AMDON's persistent efforts, Adedoyin attributed the delay to a lack of political will. The association, which has about 1,350 members operating more than 1,500 car stands in the FCT, fears that the ban could result in the displacement of around 500,000 individuals, causing significant revenue losses for the government.",
