– Wike issues final warning to ground rent defaulters

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, gave a final warning to defaulters of ground rent payment in the nation's capital, insisting that something would happen.

Wike gave the warning when the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, led by its President, Comrade Chris Isiguzo visited him in Abuja. The minister said that “something will surely happen” contrary to the erroneous assumption that the ground rent directive was an empty threat. NAN recalls that the FCT Administration in September published land titles of individuals, organisations, and agencies owing ground rent.

The FCTA had warned that a breach or failure to comply with any or all of the terms stated in the Rights of Occupancy shall be liable to the revocation of the title. The administration, therefore, advised all allottees, property owners, and beneficiaries of the sale of Federal Government Houses in the FCT to settle their outstanding ground rents or lose their titles. Wike assured the defaulters that he would match his words with action at the end of the grace period by revoking such plots.
