FCTA cancels 485 Land allocations in 3 Area Councils over failed verification

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has cancelled 485 area council land allocations in Abuja following failed verification and tagged as “fake and failed verification checks”.

The move got approval from FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and was shared publicly by FCTA’s Land Administration and AGIS units.

According to the notice, 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 reads.

The administration said the nullified applications would be expunged from the regularisation database maintained by the departments of land administration and AGIS.

The notice listed affected applicants by name, file number, layout, and area council, warning holders to take note of the development.

The FCTA added that the publication is “without prejudice to further notices and/or publications”.
