The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom
Wike, has ordered the demolition of a community around the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport in Abuja.
Wike ordered the Director of the Department of Development
Control to ensure that the Nuwalege community gives way for the presidential
fleet plot.
His order followed a request from the Nigerian Air Force
which intends to use the area for the presidential fleet project.
Wike spoke through the Director, Mukhtar Galadima during a community and citizen engagement on Tuesday.
“About a month ago, the authority of the Nigerian Air Force
wrote to the honourable minister on their needs and desire to remove this
village, because it is part of the presidential fleet plots.
“So, the minister in his wisdom requested them to allow the
FCT administration to handle it, because it’s the responsibility of FCT
administration.
“The Nigerian Air Force approached the Department of
Development Control on their desires,” he said.
