Illegal Buildings Distorting Abuja Masterplan Will Go Down-Wike Warns Landlords …Reads Out Riot Acts To Residents
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has sounded a demolition warning to landlords of properties distorting the master plan of Abuja.
“All those people who are distorting the master plan of Abuja, too bad. If you know you have built where you’re not supposed to build, it will go down,” Wike said during a press conference in Abuja today, moments after taking his oath of office at the State House.
He added that for anyone who has developed where they are not supposed to, even if the culprit is a minister or an ambassador, “your house must go down.”
The former Rivers State governor’s warning also went out to landowners who had taken over “the green areas” to build properties, saying those areas must come back.
“If you hate green, you must hate yourself. So, if you know you have anybody involved that has taken over the green areas or has taken over the parks to where you now do restaurants, no, we will not accept that. Sorry,” he said.
Speaking further in Abuja shortly after he was sworn-in by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Monday, Wike stated that security will be given top priority, and that those distorting Abuja master plan would pay for it, while those with government allocation and yet to develop their properties would lose the properties.
Wike added that uncompleted buildings that have become shanties will be taken over by the government, and that an end would be put to rearing of animals in the city.
The Minister said further that operations of motorcycles and Keke NAPEP would be reviewed, while there would be reactivation of urban mass transport system.
In addition, Wike said that there would be no more abandoned project and that he will be a “field officer” minister and will be directly involved in project inspection and supervision.
He also promised that there would be restoration of street lights in Abuja immediately, while there would be extended development to the satellite settlements.
