There is no need for this national announcement, send a personal message to each and everyone and give them deadlines for payment failure to do so you are free to revoke the land, this doesn't amount to achievement or working that's what he was appointed to do, not everything you turn to politics or bring to the media

FCT threatens to revoke plots owned by Buhari’s children, Gbajabiamila, Abbas, Saraki, others in Abuja (FULL LIST of 3,273 allottees)
The FCTA said it issued a two-week ultimatum to the allottees to settle the outstanding payments for C-of-O of the plots in Maitama District because it is carrying out infrastructural development in the district.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has threatened to revoke the Certificates of Occupancy C-of-O) of the plots of land belonging to some prominent Nigerians and corporate organisations if they fail to settle the outstanding payments for the certificates within two weeks.

The FCTA issued the threat in a notice to 3,273 allottees of the plots located in the Maitama Disrict of Abuja.


The notice, obtained by PREMIUM TIMES on Friday, is titled, “Demand notice for payment of Right of Occupancy bills for issuance of Certificates of Occupancy on all lands allocated at Maitama II District, Cadastral Zone, A10, Abuja.”

Among those listed as owners of the plots are the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege,

Also on the list are a former National Chairman of the ruling APC, Adamu Abdullahi, Third Republic Senate President, Ameh Ebute, Yusuf Buhari and Zahra Buhari (both children of former President Muhammadu Buhari).

The FCTA said it issued the notice because it is carrying out infrastructural development in the district.

“The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), through the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), is carrying out infrastructural development in Maitama II (A10) District.

“All allottees who have not paid their bills for the Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) are hereby advised to settle their bills in full within two (2) weeks from the date of this publication.

“All affected allottees are informed that failure to pay all outstanding land bills, rents, fees, and charges within the stipulated grace period will result in the withdrawal of the offers of Rights of Occupancy (R-of-O) over the said plots of land by the Honourable Minister of the FCT, and reallocation of the lands,” the notice said.

Sanitising FCT land administration
The notice may be a fresh step to sanitise land administration in the territory allegedly plagued by corruption, land speculation, and bureaucratic delays.

In August, the FCTA issued a four-month window for all landholders to pay their fees or face the revocation of their titles under the Land Use Act.

According to a statement by the FCTA Director of Information and Communication, Muhammad Sule, the administration is “deeply concerned” by the widespread failure to settle land processing fees, which has hindered its ability to fund critical infrastructure projects in the capital.

The Director of the Land Administration Department, Ekarikpong Ukpanah, also said the non-payment is not just an administrative oversight but a violation of the terms of the land grants and the provisions of the Land Use Act.



He added that, “It has also contributed to unchecked land speculation, which has further delayed real estate and infrastructural development across the FCT.”

Mr Ukpanah said the FCTA would henceforth prioritise genuine developers and that only those who comply with the payment terms will retain their land titles.

Wike’s push for accountability
While addressing estate developers in November 2023, the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, announced that the cost of obtaining a C-of-O had been pegged at N5 million, with a four-month window for payment.

He also said the era of multiple allocations of the same plot to different people, often involving forged documents, was over.

“Allocation of land to three or more persons will no longer be allowed because the C-of-O enables you to do business,” he said.

Mr Wike also revealed plans to link applicants’ National Identification Numbers (NIN) to their C-of-O applications, a move aimed at curbing fraud and ensuring that only genuine landholders receive legal documentation.

Hurting the rich
The minister acknowledged that some of the reforms he was introducing would not be well-received by wealthy individuals and corporations who had benefitted from the chaotic land system in the past.

He, however, noted that the FCTA’s priority was the public good.

“When we make the right decision, some people will be happy, and some will not. The rich will kick against some of our decisions, but anything that will help our people must be done,’’ he said.

In mid-November, Mr Wike inaugurated a task force to oversee the issuance of C-of-O for housing estates and the recovery of unpaid land use fees.

He said the measures were designed to ensure that each housing unit in the FCT is legally documented, providing long-term security for investors and developers while eliminating the loopholes that have allowed fraudulent practices to flourish.


“We are taking these steps not only to stop the speculators but to ensure that the FCT can develop the infrastructure it desperately needs. If we do not act now, the capital will be left behind,” Mr Wike explained.

So Sad ...Young bright futures gone to the drain ...

Abeg stop comparing apples and oranges! How does in any remotest way relate to the US Congress hearing on Donald trump and a bunch of clout chasers (name all of them). How?

A matter that bordered on the desecration of the US Congress by the invasion of those hoodlums is what you are comparing with beer parlour gist that can be resolved by the police force in a weekend? No now!

This is like saying that the US Congress should summon Diddy over the huge allegations of child trafficking and the rest! Common on, there are bodies saddled with that responsibility!

The National assembly just keep mockery of themselves abeg!

This investigation is deeply wrong from the beginning. It should not be in the jurisdiction of the National Assembly to investigate criminal and corrupt activities. There are institutions and agencies that were set up for that function and Nigerians are paying their salaries. So why will the National Assembly leave her duties to face investigation of crimes?

The ICPC, the CID of the Police institution and other military agencies are there to perform this responsible.

VDM is a very smart and uncompromise person and he will not bulge but do the needful because he will not like to disappoint Nigerians. If the National Assembly want to do the right thing let them redirect the case to those that will do thorough investigations. So that the EFCC and correctional service will be punish for been corrupt. Also the agency will find out the godfather who said Miss/Mr Bob will not do the prison terms.

I just feel they just want to waste time with concrete action to those involve.

Repent of your sins, the Kingdom of God is at hand.

The end time predictions are now happening, from modern tech to globalization, destruction of old world order of this Age, race for microchip tech (Semiconductor) and fight for the control for future tech, emergence of MNK/IPOB, conflicts in Europe and Middle East that can be globalised.

All these in 1/4 of 21st cent. These are no coincidence!
