According to a notice issued on Thursday night in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) stated that the plots were revoked due to the failure or refusal of the allottees to develop them.

“The Federal Capital Territory Administration FCTA hereby informs the general public that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has, in the exercise of the powers conferred on him under Section 28(5)(a) & (b) of the Land Use Act 1978, revoked the underlisted plots with names and titles as reflected in our records for continued contravention of the terms of development of the Right of Occupancy to wit non-development,” stated the administration in the notice signed by the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olusade Adesola.

Some of the plots revoked in Maitama district A05 were registered under names like Liyel Imoke, Musa Aboki Egu, Hassan Hadejia, and Ishaya Baba.

In Jabi, some of the revoked plots had allottees such as Sam Nda-Isaiah, and Donubari Josephine Kogbara, while Katampe district included names like Peter Gregory Obi, BUA International, among others.

In various other areas, the revoked plots were associated with names such as Julius Berger Nigeria, Honeywell Construction, Uffot Joseph Ekaette, Shittu Mohammed, Udoma Udo Udoma, Kanu Agabi, Niki Niki Tobi, Ishaku Bello, and others.

Upon assuming office, Wike pledged to uphold the master plan of the territory and to revoke plots that remained undeveloped or whose ground rents had not been paid for extended periods. Consequently, he provided a two-week grace period for allottees to settle their ground rents or face the revocation of their allocations.
