Christmas: Drivers lament low patronage at Abuja parks

Twenty-four hours to this year’s Christmas, drivers in some motor parks in Abuja, Wednesday, lamented low passenger patronage, Daily Trust reports.

Our correspondent reports that unlike last year when the parks were a beehive of activities as residents thronged them to travel to their home states and other destinations to celebrate the Christmas and New Year with their loved ones, this year the parks witnessed scanty patronage.

A visit to Jabi Park, in Abuja Municipal Area, showed little travellers activities, with only a few ‘destination callers’ around due to low patronage.

A driver at the park, Peter Chukwudi, told our correspondent that passengers were not thronging to the park due to the economic situation of the country.

The situation is similar in Utako Park as Abraham Daniel said he had been waiting for his turn to load his 16-seater bus for over five hours.

Daniel, who decried the increase in fuel price and other commodities, said he increased his transport fare to meet the exigencies of the time.

A passenger to Delta State, Patience Diamond, said she was charged N15,000 but the same trip had cost N12,500 while coming to Abuja last week.
