The Minister of Federal Capital
Territory, Nyesom Wike, and security operatives have uncovered an illegal oil
refining warehouse in Mabushi, Abuja.
The Director of the Department of
Development Control, Federal Capital Territory Administration, Mukhtar
Galadima, disclosed this after a clamp-down exercise on Thursday.
According to him, about three to
four plots of land designated for commercial purposes have been converted to an
area where oil and diesel are being adulterated and circulated to other parts
of the city.
He said the administration will
continue to go tough on activities in the nation’s capital without government
approval, especially revocation of the titles.
“During the continuation of our
city sanitation exercise in Mabushi opposite the Mobil filling station on
Ahmadu Way, we discovered an illegal refining site where oil and diesel are
being adulterated; we have done the needful by moving the items to Nigerian
Security and Civil Defence Corps.
“From what we have seen so far,
about three or four plots of land designated for commercial purposes have been
converted to unapproved activities, and we believe the owners are fully aware
there will be consequences.
“We are going to look at the
provision of the law and make necessary recommendations to the FCT
Administration,” he said.
