The Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA) on Monday sealed the National Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) located in the Zone 5 area of Abuja over non-payment of ground rent.
The development was confirmed by Lere Olayinka, spokesperson to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
“FCTA seals PDP Secretariat in Zone 5, Abuja. It was revoked for not paying ground rent,” Olayinka said in a statement.
He explained that the property, owned by Senator Samaila Mamman Kurfi, had accumulated unpaid ground rent for 28 years, prompting the FCTA to take action.
The sealing of the property comes amid ongoing efforts by the FCT administration to enforce compliance with land use regulations and recover outstanding dues.
