The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revoked the allocation of 568 plots of land in Abuja due to the non-payment of Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) fees.
In a public notice, the FCT Administration revealed that the allottees of land in Maitama II, Cadastral Zone A10, Abuja, failed to pay their C of O fees despite the expiration of the grace period granted by the minister.
The notice clarified that the land allocations were withdrawn “pursuant to the provisions of Section 28 of the Land Use Act of 1978 for breach of the terms of the grant, which required title/interest holders to settle all fees.” However, it was noted that allottees or titleholders who complete their payments by January 15, 2025 will not be affected by this action.
The list of allottees and title holders whose titles have been revoked is as follows:
