The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has issued a stern warning to prominent Nigerians, including Yusuf and Zahra – the children of former President Muhammadu Buhari – to settle their outstanding land bills within 14 days or risk losing their rights of occupancy.
The FCTA is answerable to the FCT Minister, Nyewom Wike.
The FCTA’s directive urged allottees in the Maitama II district to clear their bills for Certificates of Occupancy (C-o-O) or face losing their land allocations.
The administration warned that failure to comply would lead to the withdrawal of the Rights of Occupancy (R-of-O) and subsequent reallocation of the affected plots.
In an official notice, the FCTA reiterated that infrastructural development in Maitama II is ongoing, making it crucial for allottees to meet their financial obligations promptly.
“All affected allottees are informed that failure to pay all outstanding land bills, rents, fees, and charges within the stipulated grace period will result in the withdrawal of the offers of Rights of Occupancy (R-of-O) over the said plots of land by the Honourable Minister of the FCT, and reallocation of the lands,” the notice read.
