The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revoked land allocations belonging to prominent figures, including Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, PDP National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and others.
This decision affects 568 landowners in Maitama II, Cadastral Zone A10, Abuja, whose allocations were withdrawn due to non-compliance with payment requirements for their Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O).
According to a statement from the Minister’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, the revocations followed the expiration of a two-week grace period granted to the landowners to settle their outstanding fees. Despite the extension, the affected individuals failed to meet the payment obligations.
This move reflects Wike’s ongoing efforts to enforce compliance with land allocation regulations and ensure proper management of the FCT’s resources.
