Wike to ban Keke NAPEP in FCT
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said plans are underway to stop the operation of tricycles, (popularly known as Keke Napap) in some areas in Abuja.
Addressing transportation issues and activities of ‘one-chance’ robbery in the FCT, the minister pledged that the worrisome trend would soon be a thing of the past.
He noted that the operation of Keke Napep in Asokoro and Maitama would soon be stopped.
Speaking to Estate Developers and Residents’ Associations in the Federal Capital Territory, Mr Wike called on the residents to cooperate with the FCDA by making due payment of their taxes.
Mr Wike stated, “These buses and taxis will ply all the routes in Asokoro and Maitama. We are kicking out Keke Napep at least in these areas. Some of these Keke Napep are agents of criminals. If we have the buses, people will prefer to come from their areas and come to work and go back. It is painful but it is an inconvenience that we must face.’’
