Wike’s revocation order applies to a total of 165 lands due to violations and contraventions of the Right of Occupancy’s development terms.
This action was confirmed in a document signed by the FCT Permanent Secretary, Olushade Adeshola.
According to The Nation, some of the prominent figures affected by the revocation order include Ufot Joseph Ekaette, the first Minister of Niger Delta, and the late publisher of Leadership newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah.
The document states: “The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) hereby informs the general public that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has, in the exercise of the powers conferred on him under section 28 (5) (a) and (b) of the Land Use Act, 1978, revoked the underlisted plots with names and titles as reflected in our records for continued contravention of the terms of development of the Right of Occupancy, namely non-development.”
