The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has banned Point of Sales (POS) owners from operating by roadside and unapproved places in the streets of Abuja.
The Coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), Umar Shuaibu issued the directive on Wednesday.
According to Shuaibu, the ban was to address insecurity associated with PoS operators’ activities. Adding that their indiscriminate activities were becoming a threat to security in the nation’s capital.
Shuaibu said POS owners should be at commercial centres, plazas, markets, supermarkets and filling stations.
The AMAC boss advised the operators to liaise with owners of the locations to ply their trade at their premises.
“Henceforth, all operators must relocate to commercial areas. This will help checkmate insecurity,” he added.
