The FCT Administration has declared that all government landed property illegally possessed by any person or corporate organization would be retrieved.
This revelation was made by the FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello during an emergency visit to the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) Dump Site in Gosa, Sewer Treatment Plant, Wupa and the proposed Waste Transfer Station at Mpape.
He said such land would have to be taken from its encroachers and returned to the government for its original uses in line with the Abuja Master Plan.
He disclosed, “Any government property or government land encroached in Abuja will be taken back and given to the government and that is the easiest of our jobs because it’s government that gives people land. If somebody encroaches on government land, it’s very easy for government to take back its land because nobody can take government’s land and get away with it.”
In making sure liquid and solid wastes are managed and disposed off properly in the city, Musa revealed that all the departments of the Abuja Environmental Protection Board would be equipped.
The Minister lamented the small office block at the proposed Waste Transfer Station in Maitama which he believed lacked the capacity to serve as a sorting centre for the entire city.
Meanwhile, in order to actualize its dream of a smooth vehicular movement in and around the nation’s capital, the FCT Administration has kicked off immediate maintenance of some strategic roads within the City Centre.
Some of the roads under the first phase of the project include the total rehabilitation of M20, the hitherto dilapidated road leading to the popular Utako Motor Park; rehabilitation of road shoulders along the Shehu Shagari Way in Maitama District and Ring Road I (Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway) respectively.
Bello, said he had the mandate of Mr President to make the FCT a clean and dirty-free city.
He maintained that Abuja under his watch must be brought back to its original clean and green status.
