The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has sealed an Access Bank branch and a Total petrol station located in Wuse, Abuja, due to the non-payment of ground rent.<\/p>\n

This action is part of a broader enforcement initiative targeting property owners who have defaulted on their statutory obligations.<\/p>\n

The closures come in the wake of a significant crackdown by the FCTA, which recently revoked 4,794 land titles across Abuja\u2019s prime districts\u2014including Wuse, Maitama, Asokoro, and Garki\u2014over unpaid ground rents spanning more than a decade. According to FCTA officials, 8,375 property owners owe approximately \u20a66.97 billion in ground rent arrears, some dating back over 40 years.<\/p>\n

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, emphasised that the revocations were executed by Section 28(5) of the Land Use Act, which permits the government to reclaim land from titleholders who fail to meet the conditions of their occupancy rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
