Ground Rent: FCTA threatens to revoke properties belonging to ex-FCT minister, 3, 382 other allotees [FULL LIST]

According to a notice released Monday, owners of 3,383 plots of land in the FCT may lose their R-of-Os or C-of-Os due to unpaid ground rents

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the military, foreign embassies, religious groups, government agencies, and private property owners in Abuja to settle outstanding ground rent arrears or face revocation of their land titles.

According to a public notice shared with PREMIUM TIMES on Monday, over 3,383 plots of land across the Federal Capital Territory are at risk of losing their Right of Occupancy (R-of-O) or Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) due to unpaid ground rent accumulated between 2014 and 2024.

The affected properties are primarily in high-profile areas, including Central Area, Garki I and II, Asokoro, Maitama, Wuse I and II, and Guzape.

A wide range of ground rent defaulters named
The public notice released by the FCTA lists defaulters categorised from A00 to A09. These include key ministries, diplomatic missions, banks, religious organisations, private firms, and prominent individuals.

The Nigerian Navy, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Department of Petroleum Resources, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Debt Management Office, Federal High Court, and National Industrial Court are among the government agencies owing ground rent. Liaison offices of states such as Kwara, Benue, Osun, Zamfara, Katsina, Imo, and Enugu are also featured on the list.

Foreign embassies include Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Kuwait, Zimbabwe, Canada, India, Ethiopia, Sudan, Mauritania, Indonesia, Venezuela, and North Korea.

In the private sector, defaulters include Huawei Technologies Nigeria Ltd, UACN Property Development Company PLC, First City Monument Bank PLC, Union Bank of Nigeria PLC, Standard Construction Ltd, Baram Nigeria Ltd, and Elbe Pharma Ltd.

Religious organisations owing ground rent include the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, Abuja National Mosque Council, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Nigeria, and Jama’atu Nasril Islam.

Notable individuals on the list include retired military officers and prominent figures such as Gado Nasko, a former FCT Minister; Aisha Alhassan; Mathew Nwagwu; Alexander Okafor; Dominic Oneya; Gladys Ibanga; and Jimoh Oyedele Ibrahim.

Real estate and investment firms named are Neo-Vista Property Development Ltd, TRCC Nigeria Ltd, Vibrant Insurance Brokers, Next International Nigeria Ltd, and Abuja Investment & Property Development Company Ltd.

FCTA’s warning and payment instructions
The FCTA reminded allottees that annual ground rent payments are mandatory under the terms of their Rights of Occupancy and Certificates of Occupancy and must be paid in advance starting 1 January each year.

“All allottees and property owners who have not paid ground rent up to 2024 are hereby given fourteen (14) days from the date of this publication to settle their arrears,” the notice stated.


“Failure to comply will result in revocation or withdrawal of affected land titles.

“Payments are to be made via the Remita e-payment platform, directed to the account of the “FCT Department of Land Administration.”

“Property owners are advised to visit https://remita.net, select “Pay TSA & States,” then “Federal Capital Territory Admin,” followed by “FCT Department of Land Administration,” and finally “FCC Ground Rent.”

Recent enforcement and government response
The ultimatum follows recent enforcement actions by the FCTA, which sealed the premises of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national secretariat, FIRS, Access Bank, Total Energy, Ibro Hotel, and Mabuda Company Warehouse in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, over unpaid ground rent.

FCTA’s Director of Land, Chijioke Nwankwoeze, said these properties have reverted to the FCTA and described the exercise as the beginning of reclaiming possession of over 4,794 revoked properties.

He noted that the ground rent for the FIRS building on Plot 627, Wuse Zone 5, had been unpaid for 25 years, while the Access Bank building on Plot 2456, Wuse I, had not been paid for 34 years.

However, President Bola Tinubu has directed the FCTA to suspend sealing activities on some properties pending further review.

Gen Zs Smh....

This ia quite apt...I'm not a fan of celebrating uncompleted projects.

I'm guessing the Lagos stinks chatters finally gained traction with the state authority.

I hope Sanwo Olu sort the consent of Obingo before embarking on this project else he rushes to his social media handle to complain how money is wasted on elitist ventures while many wallow in pervasive depravity and penury.

The term innocent people of Nigeria or simply put innocent Nigerians is the biggest fallacy there ever was. Non as far as I'm concerned is innocent.

Obingo, the general commentator would definitely not allow any event pass him by ....ehm fellow comrade the Dubaian will soon drop his.

Make.anyhow person no catch you for this stretch of road ooh....no rescue go near you.

Fake news from dem...."unhappy people"

Procrastination ran we street so badly....still reeling from the effects.

Should where i come from matter in my expressed opinion.

What the data reflects is that the preceeding administrations did more to stabilise the grid for the incoming to enjoy.

Goodluck Jonathan deserve his flowers here....as for Buhari still early days, lets wait until Tinubu completes his tenure.

As for Obasanjo, let me restrain myself from saying certain things because I'm still livid with that man...

Ok bye.

I wonder what his followers that see him as their role model will say after seeing him squeeze so hard...

VDM will soon come out to claim the images are AI generated.

I'm very sure those collegues of his on white apparel spraying monies with him at that event belong to same occultic group...

The security agencies should also investigate them asap.

Chai! Wike don deal with many people ooo!...

This picture journalist according Lere just dey on wike matter like shadow...

But how come Donald Trump has not posted or condemned the horrific genocide happening in Palestine by Washington backed Isreal....doesn’t this amount to foaming from both sides of the mouth.

We already know that street light poles, roadside kiosks / shops and road midians are emergency barriers for drunk drivers, vehicle mechanical failures and sleeping drivers.

Where's that guy that draws circle around cheating people to cross to prove their faithfulness.....he should draw the circle around both of them there, while they're still locked in that embrace....i just want to check something.

Ok

But will Obidients like this.
.

Ok

I hope Hope Uzodimma has fulfilled his campaign promise to send thousands of Imolites to Canada and other Western countries to live and work.

Nigerian politicians ehnn

This has absolutely no impact on the centizenry...transporters are hell bent on making life tough for commuters

Revenue drive is all i see....Lagos state government ehnn

They should go to Fela's shrine at Alausa....i want to show them something.
