The Nyesom Wike-led Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has opened up on why it revoked 167 plots of land in the metropolis of Abuja The FCTA said the affected persons violated the stipulations of the Abuja master plan by not developing the land within two years.
Top political personalities like Labour Party's presidential
candidate, Peter Obi, former Cross River governor Liyel Imoke,, Donubari
Josephine Kogbara and Ishaya Baba were all affected by this move.
FCTA clears air on revoking
Obi, Imoke and other's land in Abuja confirming this development, the Director
of FCTA Information and Communication, Hazat Sule, said the lands were left
underdeveloped for far too long, which left them with no choice but to revoke
it.
As reported by Daily Trust, he
stated that the stipulated norm is for the allottees of the lands to develop
their property within two years of when it was allotted. Sule described their
refusal to adhere to the stipulations of the FCTA as a flagrant abuse of the
nation’s capital master plan. This development further affirms Wike’s
declaration during his inaugural press conference, where he stated that the
FCTA would revoke lands due for development.
He also stated that individuals
who built structures in green areas should evacuate as demolition exercises
would be effected in such areas to ensure the master plan of the nation’s
capital remains intact. Wike also noted that the operation of motorcycles in
the city centres would not be condoned.
