The Federal Capital Territory Administration has launched a bold move to clean up land allocation records in Abuja as Minister Nyesom Wike approved the constitution of vetting teams to fast-track regularisation across the six area councils.
Director of Land Administration, Chijioke Nwankwoeze, who inaugurated the teams on Friday, said the initiative is aimed at resolving long-standing issues around mass housing titles and restoring order in land documentation.
He explained that the vetting teams have been given clear mandates to identify, verify, and regularise genuine land allocations, with a particular focus on mass housing schemes.
According to him, subscribers of unit houses will now be able to obtain proper titles for their individual properties.
Nwankwoeze noted that the minister has shown strong political will to resolve lingering problems affecting area councils’ plot allocations, regularisation, and the titling of delivered housing units.
Describing the move as bold and irreversible, the Director said it would ensure transparency, build public trust, and enhance service delivery in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
He called on developers and subscribers to cooperate fully with the process, assuring that the FCTA is committed to fairness and efficiency in land administration.
