The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike
has been advised not to demolish houses built through self-efforts but
regularise documents of homes in communities where people live.
The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe
Ajaero, gave this advice in Abuja.
Ajaero advised the FCT Minister to stop deriving pleasure
from demolishing people’s houses, stressing that Nigeria is the only country
that cannot provide houses for its citizens but demolish ones built through
self-effort.
Ajaero said: “I honestly think they should legalize those
areas where workers are operating rather than demolishing them,” he said.
“All those places they call slums, where people made
provision for themselves about where to stay, Wike is seen as illegal, he
should add value by legalizing them even if temporarily for those people until
such a time when the government is able to provide an alternative for them.”
He lamented that Nigerian workers cannot build houses with
the paltry sum of N30,000 minimum wage before retirement from service after 35
years.
