In a significant move towards enhancing the organization of urban parking and ensuring a smoother traffic flow, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has inked pivotal agreements with prominent park and pay companies, NAJEC Ltd and ATB Nig. Ltd. The signing ceremony took place on the 4th of August, 2023, marking a decisive step forward in modernizing parking facilities within the capital.
In an effort to maintain the aesthetic appeal of public spaces and ensure pedestrian safety, authorities are urging motorists to exercise responsible parking practices. Parking vehicles on walkways and encroaching upon the verdant greenery lining the roadside are now subject to strict fines ranging between #15,000 and #25,000. This stringent measure underscores the FCT’s commitment to fostering a well-organized and visually pleasing urban environment.

To avoid potential fines and inconveniences, motorists are advised to adopt compliant parking habits. A nominal fee of #100 grants motorists a one-hour parking window, providing a convenient and hassle-free option. As an alternative, utilizing designated bus stops for parking purposes is also highly encouraged. Neglecting these guidelines may result in vehicles being towed, a process accompanied by a fee of #15,000.
While this brief overview provides a comprehensive understanding of the new parking regulations, individuals seeking further insights and details are encouraged to explore additional sources of information. This transformative step by the FCT signifies a concerted effort to promote responsible parking practices and cultivate a more organized and efficient urban landscape for all residents and visitors alike.
