Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu state has suspended the operations of the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA).
The suspension which took effect from Wednesday, August 2, was contained in a public service announcement by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Chidiebere Onyia.
He said the suspension is necessitated by the need to carry out detailed review of the activities of the Authority, its processes, and transparency of its operations.
Government also directed third parties that collect Motor Park, Keke Park, Truck Park fees on behalf of ECTDA, to submit their relevant Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to the Office of the SSG on or before August 9.
The statement reads in parts, "During this period of review, only operations directly authorized by His Excellency, the Governor of Enugu State will be treated, to ensure the State attends to the needs of the public that cannot wait for the completion of the exercise.
"All third parties and individuals who currently collect any form of Motor Park, Keke Park, Truck Park fees on behalf of Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority are to submit their relevant Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to the Office of the Secretary to the State Government on or before 9th of August 2023. Failure to comply will result in the suspension of such MOU’s."
While urging the public to be guided accordingly, government assured them that the exercise "will be concluded as soon as possible, and recommencement of operations will be duly communicated."
