The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Nyesom Wike, has rejected the for the children of the more than 2,000 Customs officers residing in the FCT.
“I read your letter on the revoked land, very bad; very bad; very bad, but what do I do?
“When we gave you the land, you refused to use it; FCT will now sell it to you, and when we give you Certificate of Ownership, you pay our ground rent.
“I will give you the opportunity to buy the land from FCT and give you the value of the land now,” he said.
He said FCTA would support the service to achieve its aims and objectives, but lamented how government agencies were allocated land in FCT and they refused to develop them.
On the land for school development, the minister assured the custom boss that it would be considered but on the condition that the agency would pledge to develop the land within a specific period.
Failure to comply, the minister said that the land would be revoked.
