Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has directed the territory’s traffic section to stop car racing in residential neighbourhoods, following complaints from residents that the practice endangers other road users.

Wike gave the directive while responding to questions on Monday in Abuja.

The minister said no formal complaint had reached him on the matter until it was raised during the interview, but promised swift action.

“I would like to let you know that no formal complaint has been made, but now that we have heard it from you, I will check the traffic section and then let them understand that we will not allow that,” he said.
