The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has issued a stern warning to some high-profile Nigerians and corporate organizations, threatening to revoke their Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O) if they fail to clear outstanding payments within the next two weeks.
In a notice addressed to 3,273 allottees, the FCTA targeted owners of plots in the Maitama District of Abuja, urging immediate settlement of dues. The notice, titled “Demand Notice for Payment of Right of Occupancy Bills for Issuance of Certificates of Occupancy on All Lands Allocated at Maitama II District, Cadastral Zone, A10, Abuja,” highlights the urgency of the payments.
Prominent figures named in the list include the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen; Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume; Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo; former Senate President, Bukola Saraki; former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; and former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege.
