FCTA to demolish buildings in Abuja’s popular market

by

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it would start the demolition of illegal buildings within the Area 1 Shopping Complex on Monday, September 18.
This is as the FCTA said that all the attachment shops and other illegal constructions, and wrong parking which hitherto made that place impassable to traffic would be removed and the whole environment cleaned up.

This development was arrived at by authorities of the FCTA which comprises the Departments of Development Control, Security Service, the Abuja Environmental Protection Board, as well as the Abuja Investments Company Ltd, in a meeting with traders of the market.

The director of FCTA Development Control, Muktar Galadima made this known at the meeting with traders and owners of shops during the weekend.

Galadima told the traders that the current people-friendly FCT Administration decided to meet with managers of the market so as to reach an understanding before carrying out the demolition exercise.

According to him, the congested nature of the market, its unhygienic and untidy conditions were not good for any emergency and health.
