Wike issues ultimatum to owners of 189 Abuja plots

The Minister in charge of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has approved a three-month grace period for owners of 189 undeveloped plots of land in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, to begin to develop them or get their allocation papers revoked.

The Director of Information and Communication at the FCT Administration, Muhammad Sule, stated on Sunday in Abuja that the affected titled holders had obtained building plan approvals, but were yet to develop the properties.

He stated that the affected property owners were expected to develop the property within the stipulated period or have their title documents revoked in line with extant laws.
