The Nation Newspaper Wike rejects Customs’ appeal on revoked land
Wike told a delegation of the NCS, led by its Acting Comptroller General, Bashir Adeniyi, during a visit to his office, that the service would have to pay penalties to reclaim the land.
He said: “Frankly speaking, we will look at it and see what we can do. Whether or not you are going to pay a penalty, you will pay a penalty. That is what we are going to do.” “My policy now is that before we give land to any agency, it must commit that it will develop it within a certain number of years. If not, the FCT should take back the land. I will not allocate land that will lay till thy kingdom come. So, you must convince me that you are indeed serious about building schools for the children of your staff and our children.”
