The House of Representatives has launched a probe into the alleged illegal allocation of lands shortly before the appointment of Nyesom Wike. The House mandated its committee on FCT to investigate all allocations made between 1st January and 27th August when Mr Wike resumed office.
This resolution followed a motion moved by Jonathan Gaza on Thursday during plenary. In the motion, Mr Gaza explained that between 29th May, when former Minister Mohammed Bello resigned, and when Mr Wike resumed office, some officials in the ministry approved lands to estate developers. He stated that the lands were assigned without the approval of a substantive minister in the ministry.
“In the period 29th May 2023 to 21st August 2023, several title documents on land in the FCT were issued to some real estate developers in a highly suspicious manner. “ wonder if the Director of Lands or any official of the FCDA who issued R of O's purportedly in the name of the Minister of FCT at the period when the office of the Minister was vacant, had the legal right or authority to do so,” he said.
