Nigerian government, through the
Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has marked a property belonging
to the former First Lady, Patience Jonathan, for demolition.
The property sits a large expanse of land, opposite the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, headquarters in Jabi.
The Development Control, a
department under the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMAC) gave reasons
for the planned demolition.
It said the multi-billion naira
property was a contravention of development control laws in the FCT, as it was
sitting on a green area.
“We have served them notice to
stop further development of the property and produce necessary approvals within
six days before resuming work, failure to do which, we will be left with no
option but to remove the whole property,” a Director in the council told
Vanguard.
“That place is a green area, and
the property on it looks like a hotel. And you can image the deceit there, the
signboard outside the property indicates that it is a foundation or an NGO home
(A. Aruera Reachout Foundation/Women for Chang and Development Initiative), but
the real property inside is something else.”
The Director insisted that all structures
that contravened the development guidelines would be removed irrespective of
the position of their owners in the society, advising the highly placed in
Nigeria to set example by respecting the laws of the land.
