Shuaibu said the administration would not allow operators to illegally take over sensitive areas.<\/p>\n

The official stated that their indiscriminate activities were becoming a threat to security in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

The Abuja Master Plan, he explained, was structured to have the neighbourhood concept that brings services closer to the people.<\/p>\n

Shuaibu said POS owners should be at commercial centres, plazas, markets, supermarkets and filling stations.<\/p>\n

The AMAC boss advised the operators to liaise with owners of the locations to ply their trade at their premises.<\/p>\n
