FCT, Abuja
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has published a list of alleged land title debtors in Abuja.
Defaulters were given two weeks from November 26, the publication date, to pay for their certificate of occupancy (C of O).
Among the 9, 532 listed defaulters in the first batch was Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), a former head of state. IBB was Nigeria’s military ruler from 1985 to 1993.
According to the document, IBB has an outstanding debt of N152 million for a plot of land in Asokoro, a highbrow area in the nation’s capital.

Samuel Ortom, former governor of Benue; and Aminu Tambuwal, senator representing Sokoto south; were also listed as defaulters.
While Ortom was shown to have an outstanding payment of N950,000 for a plot of land in Bazango, a community on the outskirts of town, Tambuwal is reportedly owing N18 million for a plot of land in Carraway Dallas, a district located just miles from Asokoro.
The FCT threatened revocation and urged defaulters to settle their bills by e-payment to the “FCT department of land administration” account.

Some federal agencies, including the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), the navy, and police were also named as defaulters.
The Lagos governor’s lodge in Asokoro, the Kaduna state government, and ‘State House Abuja’ were also listed as land title debtors.
