The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, says he is not owing any outstanding payment for land allocated to him in the Federal Capital Territory.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike on Thursday revoked the ownership of 762 plots of land in the Maitama 1 District of Abuja.
The Speaker was among high-profile individuals whose names were in the report, which revealed the decision of the FCT Minister to revoke land titles in Abuja.
Responding to the development in a statement on Friday, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Speaker, Musa Krishi, explained that his principal has only one land allocated to him in the FCT and has since settled all payments.
According to him, it was an error for the FCTA to include Abbas’ name among those having outstanding payments, leading to the revocation of the land titles.
He, therefore, advised the FCTA to be more circumspect in handling such issues.
