The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has revoked land allocations belonging to former President Muhammadu Buhari, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, and Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume.

The revocation also affects 759 other prominent individuals and organizations in Maitama II, Abuja, due to non-payment of Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) fees.

This development was announced in a publication by the FCT Administration and shared by the special adviser to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka.

In a related notice, the minister warned that lands belonging to the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives Kingsley Chinda, former Senate Presidents Iyorchia Ayu and Ameh Ebute, Senate Chief Whip Tahir Monguno, and 610 others could also be revoked if outstanding C of O fees are not paid within two weeks.

The move follows months of appeals from the minister, urging residents of highbrow areas in the nation’s capital to clear their debts to avoid losing their land rights.
