FCTA Shuts Down Dutse Alhaji Market For Cleanup

In a bid to avert the gradual resurgence of traffic build-up along Dutse Alhaji road opposite the market, authorities of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) over the weekend temporarily shut down the market for general cleanup and renovation.

The senior special assistant to FCT Minister on Monitoring, Inspection, and Enforcement, Ikharo Attah, who led the Dutse Alhaji team explained that his principal, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, was determined to keep the market clean at all times and ensure its operation does not impede smooth traffic flow along the road.

He said that the administration cannot have attachments in the markets because that makes it difficult for seamless movement and cars to come in, thereby forcing people to the main roads to block the road for road users to pass freely and suffer in the process.

“We have been here continuously for this. The FCT Minister, Muhammad Bello, who has taken this market as a dear project has tasked us to keep this market under check and keep the road corridor very free.”
