The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revoked lands belonging to former President Muhammed Buhari, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas; and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
This information was provided to the media by the Minister’s Special Adviser, Lere Olayinka and was included in a publication issued by the FCT Administration.
The revocation, which was due to non-payment of the Certificate of Occupancy, also affected 759 other notable individuals and organizations in Maitama II, Abuja.
This information was provided to Channels Television by Lere Olayinka, the Special Adviser to the FCT minister, and was included in a publication issued by the FCT Administration.
In a separate publication, the minister also threatened to revoke lands belonging to the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda; former presidents of the Senate, Iyorchia Ayu and Ameh Ebute; the Chief Whip of the Senate, Tahir Monguno; and 610 others for outstanding fees owed to the FCTA for certificates of occupancy not paid within two weeks.
This revocation by the minister comes months after he made several pleas to residents of the FCT, particularly those residing in hybrid areas of the nation’s capital, to pay outstanding fees owed to the FCTA or risk revocation of their lands.
