The House of Representatives has issued warning against erring estate developers that flout any rule or encroach on prohibited areas in the FCT, Abuja, stressing that it will not hesitate to involve all relevant authorities against them. The Chairman, House Ad-Hoc Committee on the Investigation of Operations of Real Estate Developers in the FCT, Blessing Onuh (APC, Benue) said this when members of the committee visited various sites in Abuja on Thursday. According to Onuh, they have discovered various infractions by the developers like building without relevant authorization from the government, encroaching on prohibited areas, taking over government lands designated for special purposes as well as failure to deliver to their subscribers.
She said the committee would analyse its findings regarding the various infractions by the developers and involve relevant authorities to deal with such issues appropriately.
“They do not have building plan approvals. No documents like where we are here in EFAB. No titled documents.
“All EFAB could present to this committee is just a lease agreement of 2003. There is so much going on here and it is quite unfortunate and we promise that this committee is going to do something about it.
“We would look at the infractions. Analyse them and then we would send those that have infractions and contraventions to the necessary authority for intervention.”
