The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revoked the allocation of 568 plots of land in Maitama II, Cadastral Zone A10, Abuja, due to the non-payment of Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) fees.
In a public notice issued by the FCT Administration, the minister explained that the allottees failed to pay the required fees after the expiration of the grace period.
This action aligns with Section 28 of the Land Use Act of 1978, which authorizes the withdrawal of land allocations when the terms of the grant are violated.
The notice specified that the revocation would affect only those who had not made full payments by January 15, 2025.
The notice stated: “The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) wishes to inform the allottees/title holders of plots of land in Maitama II, Cadastral Zone A10, Abuja, who have failed to pay their Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) fees following the expiration of the grace period granted by the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, that their Right of Occupancy has been withdrawn in accordance with Section 28 of the Land Use Act of 1978 for failing to meet the terms of the grant, which required payment of all fees.
