The Minister, Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has revoked 165 lands in Abuja, some of which belonged to notable Nigerians.

A document signed by the FCT Permanent Secretary, Olushade Adeshola, which was obtained by The PUNCH, reveals that the revocation was due to the violation and contravention of the terms of development of the Right of Occupancy.

The document reads, “The Federal Capital Territory Administration 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) and (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.”

Some notable Nigerians affected by the revocation order are former Senate Chief Whip, Udoma Udoma, former Cross River Governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, the first Minister of Niger Delta, Ufot Ekaette and late publisher of Leadership Newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah.

Wike, on his first day as the Minister of FCT vowed to revoke any land contravening the Abuja Land Use Act no matter those involved.

OPICANTO2223:
keep stepping on toes ONYESOMU CHIKWUNWIKE. Even if you change your name to wike nyesom, your full name is above.


Trade carefully Sir because nobody last in any position forever.

Whalis:

If you believe in your inner mind that Ikwerre is Igbo and Igbo has many dialects why are you changing his name to suit your community dialects?

Tinubuwins2023e:
You purchased land from government for the purpose of developing it within a specific time frame. Instead of you to develop, you left the land for years depriving serious people that wants to develop the land instantly from doing so and also for it to appreciate in value and then sell it at a higher price. That rubbish isn't acceptable at the FCT.
Wike said this on the first day of his resumption as a minister and you all thought he was joking. You will learn and learn the hard way
