The Rivers State government has threatened to revoke the land titles of the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission (NNPC), Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and several other companies that are yet to pay their ground rents.
The state government also listed lands owned by some of its agencies, including the Greater Port Harcourt Development Authority, banks and individuals that own lands in the state that were yet to pay their rents.
According to the publication, NNPC defaulted in paying for the new NNPC refinery at Alexa/Okrika, while Shell was yet to pay for its land at Soku Gas Plant in Akuku Toru Local Government Area, AKULGA and for its land at Rumuokwurusi in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
