FCT Fast Becoming A Slum – SGF

By Oduyemi Odumade

The Surveyor-General of the Federation, Abdulganiyu Adebomehin says the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, is fast turning into a slum.

Mr Adebomehin who stated this in Abuja at a meeting of stakeholders organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Urban Development and Regional Planning said that the ugly trend must be addressed.

While calling for a proper solution to correct the anomaly the Surveyor General noted that many individuals often refuse to obey the law in Abuja.

The chairman of the committee, Awaji-Inombek Abiante said that Nigeria must plan ahead to ensure adequate infrastructure to meet up with rapid urbanization.

The Lawmaker said urban poor and vulnerable groups in the city required more care and attention, especially in the provision of affordable housing and social amenities for improved quality of life.
