The Federal Capital Territory Executive Committee (FCT EXCO) has mandated the Abuja Investment Company Limited (AICL), to resuscitate the Abuja Urban Mass Transport Company (AUMTCO), for efficient and effective mass transportation services in the FCT.
This was disclosed to newsmen in a statement by Director, Information & Communication, FCT, Muhammad Hazat Sule at the end of 13th meeting of the FCT EXCO held on Monday, 14th November 2022, in Abuja.
The meeting also charged the Abuja Investment Company Limited to critically look into the affairs of AUMTCO and ensure that the buses get back on the roads in order to meet the aims for which it was established.
The EXCO further instructed the Board to turn around the situation of the Transport Company by improving its performance to enable it to play its statutory role of mass movement of commuters for the overall interest and benefits of the residents, especially the less privileged.
The FCT Transportation Secretariat was further directed to immediately find ways of developing the multistory car parks around the Federal Capital City as enshrined in the Abuja Master Plan, to reduce cases of traffic gridlocks often at peak hours.
