Pleads with Wike to intervene recover land
By Folarin Kehinde
The Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, Municipal Branch, Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has appealed to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to recover lands acquired for teachers’ estates in Abuja and investigate those allegedly behind the encroachment on the properties.
The union made the appeal at a press briefing in Abuja, alleging that land grabbers, developers and a Chinese quarry company had encroached on portions of its properties at Lugbe East Extension and Lugbe 1 Extension layouts.
The NUT said the affected plots of land were acquired and regularised in 2012 for the development of teachers’ estates but alleged that the properties had been subjected to persistent encroachment in recent years.
