The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), led by Minister Nyesom Wike, has taken decisive steps to enhance security and public order in Abuja. Following a high-level security council meeting, key resolutions were announced, including a two-week ban on Pantekas (used item markets) and restrictions on scavenging activities.
The meeting, attended by heads of security agencies, focused on addressing challenges posed by scavenging, vandalism, and the activities of some Panteka operators. The FCTA has emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to vandalism, with offenders facing severe penalties, including charges of economic sabotage and attempted murder.
Minister Wike stressed the importance of collaboration among security agencies and community stakeholders. “These resolutions are not just about enforcement but about creating a safer and more organized city for everyone,” Wike stated.
The FCTA is committed to transforming Abuja into a safer and more orderly city. With the two-week Panteka ban, scavenging restrictions, and harsher penalties for vandalism, the administration is sending a clear message: public safety and infrastructure preservation are paramount.
