ABUJA: Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that a director within the Federal Capital Territory Administration FCTA has been suspended under civil service rules for issuing unauthorised “temporary approvals” to commercial operators on designated green zones.

According him, his administration has intensified enforcement against violations linked to the recent flooding along the Airport Road axis and Lokogoma District.

Speaking during a media chat on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital, Wike revealed that beyond structural enforcement, the FCTA is also taking stern administrative action against officials within the administration who facilitate illegal encroachments into green areas and waterways.

He disclosed that another official also faced disciplinary sanctions for illegally reallocating park lands under the guise of security clearing.
