The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has approved an additional 14-day grace period for property owners who violated land use conditions in parts of Abuja to pay a penalty fee of ₦5 million and other related charges.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the new grace period begins on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, and applies to property owners in Asokoro, Maitama, Garki, and Wuse districts.
Olayinka said the decision followed the expiration of the initial 30-day deadline for affected allottees and title holders to regularize their land use.
“Failure to comply within the stated 14 calendar days grace period will result in enforcement actions by the FCT Administration,” he warned.
The statement added that the grace period is part of Wike’s effort to encourage voluntary compliance before the administration begins stricter enforcement measures.
