The Abuja Investment Company Limited (AICL) has launched an upgraded automated gate access control system at the Garki International Market in Abuja to reduce revenue leakages and enhance security. This modern system is part of AICL's strategy to improve operational transparency and efficiency in one of the busiest commercial areas of the Federal Capital Territory. Group Managing Director Maureen Tamuno emphasized that the initiative goes beyond mere infrastructure improvements, representing a significant shift towards better governance in market administration.

Tamuno's statement highlighted how the new system aligns with the objectives of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to foster reforms in various sectors, including market operations. The project is also seen as a key component of the Federal Capital Territory Administration's efforts to digitize public infrastructure and streamline business processes. By embracing technology, AICL is positioning the Garki International Market as a more organized and accountable marketplace for traders and consumers alike.

The introduction of this automated entry system not only aims to curb revenue loss but also enhances overall security at the market, which is essential in a commercial hub bustling with daily transactions. The move reflects broader governmental efforts to modernize public services and improve the ease of doing business in Abuja, ultimately contributing to the economic growth of the city and its surrounding regions.
