In a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the minister ordered all defaulters to comply between Tuesday, November 11, and November 25, 2025, warning that failure to do so would attract strict enforcement measures.
Wike emphasized that the grace period was the final opportunity for erring property owners to regularize their land use status before the FCT Administration begins enforcement actions.
The statement read:
“The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has granted defaulters of the land use/purpose clause in Asokoro, Maitama, Garki, and Wuse districts a final grace period of 14 days to comply with the approved land use and conversion requirements.
Defaulters are to pay a violation fee of ₦5 million and other applicable charges within the 14-day window, starting Tuesday, November 11, 2025.”
It added that failure to comply within the stipulated timeframe would lead to enforcement actions by the FCT Administration.
According to the statement, the affected properties are located on Gana Street and Usuma Street in Maitama, Yakubu Gowon Crescent in Asokoro, Aminu Kano Crescent and Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent in Wuse II, as well as Ladoke Akintola Boulevard, Gimbiya Street, and Onitsha Street in Garki II.
Other affected areas include Ogbomosho Street, Lafia Close, Yola Street, Abriba Close, Danbatta Street, Ringim Close, and Ilorin Street in Garki I District.
Olayinka further clarified that property owners who comply within the grace period would be issued new title documents reflecting the updated land use and a fresh 99-year term.
“The Honourable Minister has approved the issuance of new title documents—Statutory Right of Occupancy and Certificate of Occupancy—upon fulfillment of all necessary conditions,” the statement said.
“However, this consideration does not apply to land or property titles that were previously revoked due to non-development, non-payment of ground rent, or other violations,” it added.
