Abuja FCTA Laments Double Taxation and Business Closures by AMAC Despite Court Rulings

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) in Abuja is expressing concern over double taxation and the forceful closure of businesses by the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), despite court rulings declaring AMAC's actions illegal. Recent court decisions have invalidated AMAC's actions, citing regulatory abuse and unauthorized enforcement of public health regulations.

The FCTA has raised complaints about harassment of business owners by AMAC during sanitation programs, leading to demands for payments already made to the FCTA. This ongoing controversy highlights the need for clarity and adherence to legal processes in regulatory actions affecting businesses in Abuja.
