FCTA Demolishes Over 300 Structures In Lugbe
- Attah noted that the objective of the exercise was to ensure that Abuja, especially along the Airport Road, was maintained, in line with the best practices, orderliness and sanitation.
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has on Sunday demolished over 300 illegal structures in Lugbe-Across, along Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The operation tagged, ‘2021 mother of clean ups’ was headed by the Chairman, FCT Ministerial Committee on City Sanitation, Ikharo Attah, and some security and fire service officers.
Attah disclosed that the operation was part of the regular exercise on the Airport Road corridor to keep the gateway into the nation’s capital, Abuja, clean.
He said the FCT Minister, Malam Bello, visited the area recently with the Commissioner of Police and some army officers and other security heads in the territory and were displeased with the rate of infringement.

Attah noted that the Chief of Garki, Usman Nga-Kupi, who was also in the entourage lamented that areas earmarked as parking lots had been converted to shops.
According to him, the FCT Administration had fenced the organic settlement for the residents, waiting for resettlement but regretted that the plan had been contravened by those within the area, thereby violating the Abuja Master plan.
Attah also alleged that people had turned the fence line to motor park, charging car owners N1,000 on daily basis.
”In line with the town planning rules and to keep the city clean and safe, we are not going to be deterred. This comprehensive clean up shows that FCT Administration is committed to keeping the city clean.
“One of the key issues is to keep to the acceptable standards. If you are driving in through Airport Road, what you see is not befitting.

”Abuja Environmental Protection Board is doing well by evacuating the heavy waste. There are dumpsites at the back of the villages but some still come to the front to dump waste,” Attah was quoted as saying.
Attah noted that the objective of the exercise was to ensure that Abuja, especially along the Airport Road, was maintained, in line with the best practices, orderliness and sanitation.
