He emphasized that any buildings lacking proper documentation from the FCT Administration would face demolition, labeling those developers as land grabbers.
He mentioned that the structures were constructed without obtaining approval from the Development Control Department, thereby violating the land use regulations of the FCT.
“You can see they are all trying to take land without proper documentation, and we will not allow that,” he stated.
The Minister instructed Town Planner Mukhtar Galadima, the Director of the Department of Development Control, to collaborate with various security agencies in demolishing illegal structures and reclaiming the land.
He mentioned that security personnel would detain anyone who hinders the demolition process.
