IBB, Ortom, Tambuwal top list as FCTA publishes list of land title debtors

IBB, Ortom and Tambuwal




The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has published a list of alleged land title debtors in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

The FCTA in the same vein gave the defaulters two weeks from November 26, to pay for their certificates of occupancy (C of O).

Top on the list of 9,532 defaulters in the first batch is a former military Head of State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, IBB, who governed Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.

According to the FCTA, IBB has an outstanding debt of N152 million for a plot of land in Asokoro, a highbrow area in the nation’s capital.

The immediate past governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, as well as former Sokoto State governor and serving senator, Aminu Tambuwal, were also listed as defaulters.

While Ortom was shown to have an outstanding payment of N950,000 for a plot of land in Bazango, a community on the outskirts of town, Tambuwal is reportedly owing N18 million for a plot of land in Carraway Dallas, a district located just miles from Asokoro.

The FCT threatened revocation and urged defaulters to settle their bills by e-payment to the FCT department of land administration account.

Some federal agencies, including the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, the Navy, and Police, were also named as defaulters.

The Lagos State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Kaduna State Government, and ‘State House Abuja’, were also listed as land title debtors. (Daily Post)
