FCTA Gives Property Owners Three-Month Deadline to Develop or Lose Land
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has set a three-month deadline for individuals with uncompleted buildings and undeveloped plots within the Federal Capital City (FCC) to either commence or complete development on their properties.
Property owners failing to meet this requirement face the possibility of losing ownership of these lands.
This move is part of the FCTA’s broader effort to address the growing issue of abandoned structures and undeveloped land, which officials believe contribute to the city’s urban challenges.
According to the FCTA, these uncompleted projects not only pose security risks but also disrupt the overall aesthetic and planning of the city.
Property owners are therefore urged to act swiftly and ensure their plots are properly utilized to prevent government intervention.
The administration also highlighted the need for compliance as part of maintaining the city’s long-term development goals, stressing that failure to comply could result in the reallocation of the land to others ready to adhere to development regulations.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
