FGC Land Crisis: FG, El-Rufai clash as ministry writes police

The Federal Government and governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, may currently be at loggerheads over the latter’s alleged encroachment of a parcel of land belonging to Federal Government College (FGC), Malali, Kaduna State.

Although Mr El-rufai has less than three weeks to the end of his tenure, the federal government, through the Federal Ministry of Education (FME), has approached a competent law court and obtained an injunction restraining the state government from further works on the land in dispute.

A judge, B.F. Zubairu of the Kaduna High Court, on 2 May, granted the FME an interim injunction restraining the state from “entering, developing, or committing further acts of trespass” on the land belonging to the unity school.
