Federally Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has insisted on new designs for Abuja roads that would make all road networks in the territory have laybys in their designs which would cater to taxi and bus stops.
This, the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) is hoping will address some of the challenges bedeviling the transportation system in the Federal Capital Territory.
The Federal Capital Territory Executive Committee (FCT EXCO), has also mandated the Abuja Investment Company Limited, to resuscitate the Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company (AUMTCO) for efficient and effective mass transportation services in the FCT.
The committee at the end of its 13th meeting instructed the board to turn around the situation of the transport company by improving its performance to enable it to play its statutory role of mass movement of commuters for the overall benefit of residents.
It also charged the AICL to critically look into the affairs of AUMTCO and ensure that the buses get back on the roads to meet the aims for which it was established.
The EXCO maintained that the FCT Administration should not continue to fund a Company that has been given the necessary support by the Administration and has the wherewithal to take appropriate and profitable decisions for its sustenance.
AICL is an investment company established by the FCT Administration and saddled with the responsibility of managing assets, investments, and business interests of the FCTA.
