New Regulations for Taxis in Abuja

Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, has announced new measures to enhance safety in Abuja’s transportation system. Beginning January, private individuals will no longer be permitted to operate taxis without proper registration and compliance with the official Abuja taxi color.

During a media briefing on November 13, Wike emphasized that while travelers can rely on buses and taxis at designated terminals—where vehicles and drivers are monitored—individuals who choose to travel independently take on that risk themselves.

Wike stated, “It’s important to recognize that our use of bus terminals is beneficial, but we must also ensure these systems are sustainable.

He further elaborated that the government cannot rely solely on private enterprises for transportation, and while the private sector is welcomed to participate, the government must also invest in the necessary infrastructure.

“We want to establish partnerships with private entities to enhance service efficiency,” he added. “By January and February, as we initiate operations at bus terminals, those interested in collaborating with the government will be able to apply.”

Wike highlighted the government’s goal of reducing ‘one-chance’ crimes, explaining, “From January, private taxis must adhere to profiling requirements and the designated Abuja color to enhance passenger safety.”

He reiterated that when using bus and taxi terminals, passengers can confirm the identity of their vehicles and drivers, whereas traveling independently poses personal risks.
