 WIKE INTRODUCES SWEEPING LAND REFORMS IN FCT


Effective April 21, 2025, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has approved comprehensive reforms in land administration to improve transparency, revenue, and development.


Key Highlights:


- Area Council Allocations Regularised:

  Over 250,000 pending land documents from Area Councils to be vetted; valid ones will get statutory titles. Allottees will have 60 days to complete payments or forfeit the offer.


- Mass Housing Titles for Buyers:

  Properties in Mass Housing estates to be titled directly in favour of buyers, not just developers. New framework begins April 21, 2025.


- Development Deadline Set:

  All land allottees must develop plots within 2 years of receiving the Right of Occupancy (R-of-O), or risk revocation.


- 21-Day Payment Window for New R-of-Os:

  Allottees must pay all required fees and submit acceptance within 21 days of offer. Late payments will be invalid.


These reforms aim to curb land speculation, eliminate racketeering, and fast-track infrastructure and housing delivery in the FCT.
