FCTA to ban unpainted taxis, profile Uber drivers

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, Thursday said there were plans to ban unpainted taxis completely from operating on all the roads within the nation’s capital.

Wike also directed that Uber drivers should be certified and profiled by security agencies to know their identities before they can be allowed to operate in the nation’s capital.

He stated this during a chat with the media on the measures to improve security in the city.

He said “This is a city, if you don’t have rules, there will be problems. They would have to be registered. It tells you who the drivers are. We need to certify them. We need to profile them using the security agencies.”

He said the ban on the unpainted taxis was aimed at curbing the menace of ‘one chance’ which criminals have perfected to rob unsuspecting passengers in the nation’s capital.

He said, “We are not going to allow vehicles that are not painted with FCT colour and registered by the FCTA to ply commercial roads in the territory.

“That way, you know the driver is certified by the FCT and the buses and the taxes were also approved by the FCT.’’
