The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on
Saturday demolished illegal mechanic workshops at Kugbo on Abuja-Nyanya- Keffi
expressway.
The government said the land had been earmarked for the
livestock market.
Ikharo Attah, Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister
on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement led the demolition exercise.
Attah explained that the workshop owners were served with
quit notices three years ago.
The official said the operators and owners of the workshops
were again served reminders about five months ago.
Attah disclosed that complaints were received from the FCT
Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat that some mechanics took over
their land.
The situation forced the ram sellers to move close to the
main road, causing distortion and traffic.
“The demolition was part of efforts to enhance sanity in the
city during the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir celebration”, Attah said.
“With this clean-up, the sellers can now have a good stretch
to keep ram, goats, cows and others.”
