The statement was signed by Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister.
The affected properties are located in highbrow districts of Asokoro, Maitama, Garki and Wuse. According to the FCTA, the owners repeatedly ignored multiple public notices issued between May and November 2025 across national newspapers, online platforms and television stations.
The enforcement notice, released on Friday, November 28, and titled “Commencement of enforcement actions on defaulters of Ground Rent payments, Land Use Conversion Fee, C-of-O bills,” stated that the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, had approved the action in line with provisions of the Land Use Act.
“The general public, particularly holders of property in the FCT, are hereby notified that the Minister… has approved commencement of enforcement actions on a total of 1,095 properties in the Federal Capital City (FCC) for defaulting in various payments,” the statement said.
The FCTA noted that the affected property holders failed to comply despite repeated reminders to clear outstanding Ground Rent, Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) bills, Penalty/Violation fees and Land Use Conversion fees. This, it said, violates Section 28 (5a & b) of the Land Use Act and the conditions attached to Rights of Occupancy.
The administration added that the final 14-day grace period expired on November 25, 2025, paving the way for enforcement on 835 properties owing Ground Rent and 260 others defaulting on Violation and Land Use Conversion fees.
The statement was signed by Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister.
