Ongoing demolition in Abuja - Punch Newspapers

The Federal Capital Territory, Abuja recently witnessed a flurry of demolitions carried out by the task team on city sanitation.

But the truth must be said that those whose structures were pulled down also share in the blame. As have been enunciated time and again, Abuja as the Federal Capital Territory is a creation of law. The city was created specifically 45 years ago by its founding fathers to cater for the needs of the country and to prevent a repeat of what happened in the old federal capital territory of Lagos State. That is why whatever is done in Abuja is done according to the law.

Consequently, virtually all sections of the city today are grappling with the problem of unplanned and unsightly settlements. From Lugbe, to Gwarimpa, to Apo, to Kabusa, Mpape, Jahi, Durumi, Asokoro to name a few are all negatively impacted by squatter settlements. What you have in Abuja are residents approaching the local chiefs to illegally acquire land and erect structures in fragrant violation of the master plan.
