FCT minister Nyesom Wike has revoked land allocations belonging to former President Muhammadu Buhari, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas and Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume.
The revocation caused by the non-payment of certificate of occupancy (C-of-O) fees affected 759 prominent individuals and organisations in Maitama II, Abuja.
Channels TV reported on Thursday that Wike’s media aide Lere Olayinka made available to it a publication announcing the development.
In a separate announcement, the minister warned that lands belonging to Minority Leader of the House of Representatives Kingsley Chinda, former Senate Presidents Iyorchia Ayu and Ameh Ebute, Senate Chief Whip Tahir Monguno and 610 others could also face revocation if outstanding C-of-O fees are not paid within two weeks.
The revocation follows months of appeals from the minister urging FCT residents, particularly those in prime areas, to settle outstanding payments or risk losing their land allocations.
