The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has announced the revocation of certificate of occupancy of 165 plots in Abuja.
In a notice issued on Thursday by the FCT’s Permanent Secretary, Olusade Adesola, the minister revoked the rights to the land because the owners failed to develop them.
Some of the lands belong to prominent Nigerians including the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi; a former governor of Cross River State, Liyel Imoke; a former Minister of National Planning, Udo Udoma; a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ufot Ekaette; a former Edo North senator, Victor Oyofo; and the late publisher of the Leadership newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah.
