The directive comes few days after President Bola Tinubu approved the dissolution of the presidential implementation committee (PIC) on the alienation of federal government landed properties.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said activities relating to the dissolved committee should henceforth be handled by Lateef Fagbemi, attorney-general of the federation.
In a statement on Wednesday, Lere Olayinka, Wike’s senior special assistant on public communications and social media, said the minister had also approved the creation of a division within the department of land administration to handle matters relating to the sale of federal government houses in the FCT.
Olayinka said the division will take over responsibilities previously handled by the defunct SFGH committee.
“Upon the completion of the assignments of Ad-hoc Committee on Sales of Federal Government Houses in the FCT, the Secretariat was retained to attend to issues arising from the committee’s activities,” the statement reads.
“With the formal closure of the Secretariat, the general public is enjoined to henceforth, approach the Department of Land Administration on all issues relating to sale of Federal Government Houses in the FCT.
“Members of the public are also urged to be mindful of the antics and activities of fraudsters who parade themselves as staff, officers and members of the defunct Ad-Hoc Committee/Secretariat on SFGH as the Committee and Secretariat no longer exist.”
