Wike orders crackdown on car dealers operating in Abuja’s green areas

Abuja's green spaces are under threat from unauthorized car dealerships, prompting a stern response from the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. Wike has declared a crackdown on these businesses, establishing a task force to enforce the directive.

"As this has come to our notice, we’ve set up a task force," Wike stated, issuing a clear warning to dealers. "If you don’t leave the green area, we’ll carry your vehicles." The minister's firm stance underscores a commitment to reclaiming public spaces that have been encroached upon by commercial activities.

The move signals a renewed effort to enforce urban planning regulations and maintain the aesthetic and environmental integrity of Abuja's designated green areas. The task force is expected to conduct operations to remove vehicles and penalize dealers who defy the order, aiming to restore these spaces for public use and enjoyment.
