The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says the ban on street begging is still in effect in the territory.

The FCT Permanent Secretary, Mr Chinyeaka Ohaa, said the measure was one of the resolution of the monthly FCT Security Committee meeting held at the official residence of the Minister at Life Camp, on Friday in Abuja.

Ohaa said that relevant agencies would not hesitate to enforce the law on anyone caught contravening the ban.     source
