The Federal Government is planning to demolish over 30 illegal settlements, slums, and more than 6,000 illegal buildings in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to restore the city’s master plan. The announcement came from the newly-appointed Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Wike said that all illegal buildings, even those owned by ministers or ambassadors, would be demolished as they distort the Abuja master plan. The affected areas include Apo Mechanic Village, Dawaki, Durumi, Garki, Nyanya, and many more.
