Wike Challenges ASUU on University of Abuja Land Issues
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, addressed the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) regarding its opposition to the reallocation of portions of the University of Abuja's land. Wike insisted that ASUU has no authority over land administration in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and questioned the justification for the university's retention of 11,824 hectares of land without adequate development.
He emphasized that the FCTA is responsible for land use regulation and compliance with the Abuja master plan. Wike dismissed ASUU's threats of industrial action and stated that the government is prepared to defend its actions legally.
He criticized the union's leadership for resorting to threats and urged adherence to established procedures. Wike also expressed confidence in President Bola Tinubu's re-election prospects in Rivers State in 2027, encouraging residents to support the President during his monthly media chat in Port Harcourt and a town hall meeting in Abonnema.
