Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike

The FCTA revealed that this demolition will impact around 6,000 buildings, which have already been marked, as part of an initiative to clear shanties and unauthorized structures from the territory.

Following his inauguration, Wike pledged to restore the FCT's master plan, stressing that all illegal structures would be removed and his administration aimed to curb land speculations.

After personally observing the situation in the FCT at night, he lamented the distortion of the territory's master plan due to illegal structures in green areas of Abuja, asserting that they will be torn down.

“At least 6,000 illegal structures in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) across 30 areas might be demolished by the Federal Government," Wike stated. He added, “We will take back our land and give it to those who want to develop, and you must sign that you must develop at so and so time.”

However, the Director of the FCTA Department of Development Control, Muktar Galadima, mentioned that a new survey would be conducted.

“We would find time to go back and conduct a new survey, noting that the last survey carried out was in February 2022.
