Henceforth, the allocation of land in the Federal Capital Territory must be done through the FCT Land Use and Allocation Committee.
The FCT Minister, Muhammad Musa Bello made this revelation while meeting with the senior officials of the Department of Land Administration on Thursday at the Banquet Hall, Minister’s official residence, Gwarimpa I District (Life-Camp), Abuja.
The Minister disclosed that gone were the days of arbitrary allocations of land in the Territory, as all land allocation must follow due process by following all extant rules.
His words: “Due process must be followed in all land dealings in the Federal Capital Territory because the rules must be followed to bring sanity to that sub-sector.”
