The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has revoked 568 land allocations in Maitama II, Abuja.
This decision, announced on Wednesday, affects individuals, companies, and government officials who failed to pay for their Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) before the January 15 deadline, Premium Times reports.
Prominent names on the list include the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, and his Bayelsa counterpart, Douye Diri. Others affected are House of Representatives Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, former Cross River Governor Ben Ayade, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, and NIDCOM Chairperson Abike Dabiri-Erewa. Several former and serving lawmakers, as well as the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Vice President, Ibrahim Hadejia, are also included.
Some companies and agencies, including Abuja Enterprise Agency and Silver Proof Nigeria Limited, are among those whose land rights were withdrawn.
The FCTA explained that the revocation was carried out under the Land Use Act of 1978 due to non-payment of required fees. However, individuals and entities who met the payment deadline remain unaffected.
