A list of areas earmarked for possible demolition has found its way in the media. The list was sent out after the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, threatened to demolish slums and other structures obstructing the Abuja master plan.
Wike had vowed to take down all structures defacing the original plan of the nation’s capital.
He accused business people of invading green areas in the city and turning them to shops and others.
Wike who constantly used “sorry” to portray the weight of his resolve to take action said he had gone round the city at night and had seen for himself.
He also threatened to revoke undeveloped property, alleging that the owners were keeping them to make profits from what was freely allocated to them.
Just a few hours after his statement, a list found its way in the media, where about 30 communities and satellite towns are earmarked for possible demolition.
Those to be affected according to the list that cannot be authenticated are:
