FCTA begins e-ticketing, central booking of traffic offenders
The Directorate of Road Traffic Services, DRTS, Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has commenced e-ticketing and central booking of traffic offenders in the territory.
Its Director, Dr. Abdullateef Bello, disclosed this in Abuja on Monday at the inauguration of the initiative designed to drive road traffic enforcement in the FCT.
The court also barred the directorate from stopping vehicles and imposing fines.
Acknowledging the development, Bello said that the directorate had appealed the court judgement.
He added that, in the meantime, the directorate had resorted to using technological devices to enforce traffic rules, which, he said, had legal backing.
He explained that the FCT Transportation Secretariat’s extant laws allowed DRTS to use devices to maintain safety on the roads across the territory.
Bello said that DRTS had acquired technological devices that would record traffic infractions and immediately issue electronic tickets to offenders within a few minutes.
He said that the new system, which would be efficient in tracking and penalizing road traffic offences, was designed to reduce physical interface between enforcement officers and motorists.
“Henceforth, all violators of traffic rules will now be booked electronically and expected to pay the fine within seven days.
“If they fail to pay the fine within the stipulated period, their vehicles will be impounded.
“DRTS will not be stopping vehicles at random. The devices will select those that are violating our traffic rules,” he said.
The director added that the enforcement officers had been trained on how to use the devices, adding that a simulation exercise had also been carried out for a real-time experience.

‘’Today isn’t just Valentine’s Day.
It’s GOLDIE Day.
Thirteen years ago, Heaven gained a headliner and we lost a hurricane in Heels.
But Legends don’t die — they echo.
Every February 14th, while the world is drowning in roses and romance, I visit you with a wreath…..
and with words.
Because LOVE isn’t only for the living.
Love is memory.
Love is loyalty.
Love is saying your name out loud so it never fades.
GOLDIE!
You were glitter before glitter became a filter.
You were fearless before “soft life” became a hashtag.
You were Theatre.
You were colour.
You were audacity wrapped in melody.
I dropped flowers on your tomb today, but what I really dropped was gratitude.
For the music.
For the madness.
For the magic.
They tried to move on.
But I refuse to let your name become past tense.
So here’s my annual reminder to the world:
Stream her songs.
SAY HER NAME
Celebrate her light.
Because some stars don’t set…
They just change stages.
Forever your friend. Forever your megaphone.
P.S:
Heaven may have booked you for Eternity,
but Earth still dances to your Rhythm.
CONTINUE TO REST IN POWER, BIMPE SUSAN *GOLDIE* HARVEY’’
