The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) Wednesday rolled out bulldozers in continuation of its clean-up exercise to save Mpape from traffic gridlock and criminals.
The senior special assistant on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement to the Minister of FCT, Ikharo Attah, said after eight months of pulling down shanties on the ever busy road, the illegal structures have resurfaced on the road corridors, which become haven for bad eggs in the area.
He stated that the administration received complaints of illegal activities being experienced from crush rock area down to the old market side on the road shoulder.
Attah said the clean- up will reinvigorate the city’s sanitation, fight against encroachment and curb reported cases of criminal activities.
He stated that illegal operations in Mpape area which is adjacent bustling Maitama District in Abuja must be checked.
