Wike revokes 485 ‘fake’ Area Council land allocations in Abuja
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has cancelled 485 area council land allocations in Abuja after they failed verification checks and were classified as fake.
The action followed approval by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and was announced by the FCTA’s Land Administration Department and the Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS).
In a public notice, the administration stated that the affected applications failed official scrutiny for genuineness.
“This is to inform the general public, particularly applicants who submitted Area Council land documents for regularisation, that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has approved the nullification or cancellation of applications that failed the necessary official checks for genuineness and have been confirmed to be fake,” the notice read.
According to the FCTA, the nullified applications will be removed from the regularisation database maintained by the Land Administration Department and AGIS.
The notice listed affected applicants by name, file number, layout and area council, advising holders of the documents to take note. It added that the publication is “without prejudice to further notices and/or publications.”
The cancelled allocations cut across several districts and satellite towns in the FCT.
In Bwari Area Council, affected layouts include Ushafa Village Expansion Scheme, Ushafa Extension and Dawaki Extension 1.
Within the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), the impacted areas include Kurudu-Jikwoyi Relocation, Kurudu Commercial, Karu Village Extension, Nyanya Phase IV Extension, Jikwoyi Residential, Sabon Lugbe and Lugbe I Extension.
In Kuje Area Council, Kuchiyako One Layout is also affected.
Land administration in the FCT is vested in the federal government under the Constitution and governed by the Land Use Act 1978. Statutory titles are issued under the authority of the FCT Minister and documented through AGIS.
The development underscores the administration’s ongoing efforts to sanitise land records and curb irregular allocations in the nation’s capital.
