Wike clamps down on CofO violation, inaugurates committee

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has inaugurated a committee aimed at identifying areas within the nation’s capital that are in violation of their Certificate of Occupancy.

During the inauguration ceremony held at the FCTA headquarters in Abuja, Wike expressed concern over the lack of distinction between commercial and residential areas in the Federal Capital Territory, stating that this situation conflicts with the city’s master plan.

He also addressed issues arising from the relationship between the FCTA and a private estate, River Park, located along the airport road. “Sometimes, the government will give a letter of intent to those engaging in mass housing, but we found out in most cases that the agreements are violated,” Wike noted.

The minister has set a two-week deadline for both committees to complete their investigations and present recommendations for government action. He emphasized the importance of professionalism in their duties, cautioning that there would be repercussions for any misconduct.
