Wike Slams ₦5 Million Fine on FCT Land Defaulters for Unauthorized Conversions

Governor Wike imposes a ₦5 million fine on FCT land defaulters following a committee report on land use abuse. The fine, payable within 30 days, targets property owners who converted residential areas into commercial spaces without proper authorization.

The committee identified multiple properties in Abuja violating land usage regulations, recommending sanctions like property sealing and title revocation for defaulters. Wike emphasized the importance of regulating land activities in the FCT to prevent abuse and ensure compliance with regulations.

The move aims to streamline land use practices and deter unauthorized conversions, signaling a crackdown on violators in the region.
