The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom
Wike, has assured that the revocation order issued to owners of uncompleted
buildings and plots was not targeted at any individual or group.
He said the revocation order was to change the territory’s
landscape and discourage criminals from hibernating in them.
Speaking in Abuja yesterday, the minister said religious
organizations would be given more time to complete their projects.
According to Wike: “In order to fight crime and change the
landscape of the city, we will not allow uncompleted buildings. Therefore,
those who gave theirs, go now and start completing.
”We know the finances of religious groups; they are
handicapped as they are not business people, and it is only when people come to
support them.
“In such areas, we can say on religious grounds, instead of
three months, we can give additional time, but it is not targeted at anybody or
group. Now, you have come and explained, which any reasonable man would accept.
”So our people should stop saying he is targeting so group
or religion or ethnic group. No, it is in the interest of all of us.
“We will extend it, so we will not restrict it to three months for you as a religious group because there is no money as people come to support you. And it is only when they support that you can carry out whatever you are doing.”
