Buildings will go down — FCT Minister, Wike

Newly sworn-in Federal Capital Territory FCT minister, Nyesom Wike on Monday assumed office, with a pledge to restore the city’s master plan.

At his maiden news conference, he said land allottees who have been given Certificates of Occupancy but failed to develop would also lose their lands to give way to those ready to build.


“If you know you have built where you are not supposed to build, it will go down," he said.

Before his swearing-in as Minister, Wike was the two term governor of Nigeria's Rivers State until May 2023.
