Embassies Granted Grace Period After Wike Revokes 22 Land Allocations

In a recent move, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike, has taken action to address land allocation issues in Abuja’s Central Business District (CBD).

A total of 22 land allocations have been revoked due to non-development, as per Section 28(5)(a) & (b) of the Land Use Act 1978.

Among the entities affected by the revocations are Lowe Lintas, Tourist Company of Nigeria, Coscharis Motors, CFA Motors, Chidol Properties, and others. The FCT Administration has cited continued contravention of the terms of development as the reason behind these revocations.

However, Minister Wike has also displayed a willingness to encourage development on allocated lands. He has granted a three-month grace period to 189 titleholders who have obtained Building Plan Approvals but have not yet commenced development on their properties. This grace period aims to give property owners a chance to initiate development and avoid title revocations.
