The Federal Capital Territory Administration has issued a three-month ultimatum to owners of undeveloped properties in the Federal Capital City to develop their buildings or face demolition.
Â
In a document signed by the Coordinator of the Abuja Municipal Management Council, Felix Obuah, and made available to the media on Monday night, the FCTA explained that the ultimatum followed a rise in the number of shanties and illegal structures across the FCC.
Â
Obuah highlighted that these undeveloped buildings served as hideouts for “men of questionable character,” posing a security risk to residents.
Â
He warned that failure to develop the properties within the stipulated period would result in the revocation of land titles and the demolition of such structures.
Â
“The FCT Administration has noted with concern the rapid expansion of shanties and squatters within uncompleted buildings and undeveloped plots across the Federal Capital City. The Administration has also observed that these buildings and plots are being used as hideouts by men of questionable character, thereby posing a serious security challenge to residents.”
Â
“In view of the foregoing, all owners of these abandoned and uncompleted buildings, as well as undeveloped plots, are hereby directed to immediately develop and secure the properties within three months from the date of this announcement.”
Â
“Failure to comply with this directive may result in appropriate actions, including the revocation of titles and the demolition of such abandoned structures,” the document read.
