Abuja Community Demands Justice After Government Demolition


After Government demolished over 200 homes in Nuwalege, a rural community along the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road in Abuja, has left many families homeless and demanding compensation. The demolition, executed by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) at the request of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), was intended to make way for an extension of the Presidential Air Fleet. However, residents claim they were not given adequate notice or compensation. "They demolished our house in January. There was no information prior to the demolition," said Wisdom James, a displaced resident now living in Zamani. "They didn’t tell us when they would be coming. They didn’t pay us anything," he added.


Contrary to the residents' claims, Muktar Galadima, the Director of the FCT Department of Development Control, stated that a two-month notice was given before the demolition. "We informed the residents residing on the Nigeria Air Force land about the impending action and granted them a two-month window to pack their belongings," Galadima said in January. He also mentioned that discussions were ongoing with the Air Force and the FCT Department of Resettlement and Compensation to verify if any compensation had been paid, noting, "Some forms of compensation were paid. We are going to conduct further investigation to find out if compensation has been paid, to whom, and when."


Despite these assurances, many residents feel abandoned and are seeking legal recourse. Obadiah Tanko, an indigene of Nuwalege, lamented the loss of their ancestral lands, noting that the community had existed long before the Air Force base was established. "Some of our ancestors were buried in the site that now belongs to the NAF," Tanko said. Meanwhile, the community members contributed between N2,500 and N10,000 each to fund a legal challenge against the demolition, but they claim the money has not yielded any results. "The money we gathered, we don’t know where they took it to, and we weren’t paid back," James said, expressing frustration over the lack of transparency in their legal efforts.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
