The Abuja Investment Company Limited has inaugurated an automated gate access control system at the Garki International Market to curb revenue leakages, enhance security and modernise operations.

The group managing director of AICL, Maureen Tamuno, said this in a statement on Thursday.

Ms Tamuno, during the commissioning of the project in Abuja, said that the initiative represented a shift toward efficiency, transparency and accountability in market administration.

She said that AICL remained committed to creating sustainable value, enhancing commercial assets and positioning Abuja as a competitive investment destination.

She said that the newly deployed system replaced manual cash collection with a secure, technology-driven platform.

According to her, the platform is powered by automatic number plate recognition cameras, barrier gates, handheld point-of-sale devices and a centralised real-time monitoring dashboard.

Ms Tamuno said that the solution was deployed in partnership with Global Software and Digital Solutions Limited.

She said that it integrated vehicle entry automation, ticketing, digital payment processing and centralised reporting across all entry and exit points of the market.

She said that the platform digitally recorded every vehicle entry, the duration of stay, and payment, thereby eliminating revenue leakage while strengthening transparency and accountability.
