Group Urges FCT Minister to Stop Conversion of Green Areas in Abuja
The Housing Development Advocacy Network (HDAN) has called on Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to stop allocating and converting green areas in Abuja. The group highlighted that such actions threaten the city's environment, urban planning, and residents' quality of life.
HDAN raised concerns about the indiscriminate allocation of green spaces for commercial and residential developments, warning of severe environmental and social infrastructure crises. The preservation of green spaces is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment and preventing Abuja from becoming congested and polluted.
Stakeholders in the housing, real estate, and environmental protection sectors have expressed worries over the increasing loss of green zones in the city.
