Allocation Of Green Areas For Building Construction Very Unprofessional – Adeyanju

Rights Activist and Lawyer, Deji Adeyanju has condermed the allocation of lands in green areas in the FCT, which he described as a future natural disaster.

Adeyanju who made this known in a statement issued on Friday to newsmen in Abuja, said it is dangerous and totally against the FCT land allocation Act under development control.

“I have just discovered that about 20 duplexes are being constructed on a designated green area in Maitama Extension. Even more alarming is the fact that the developers have now realised there is no access road to the estate and have resorted to converting a canal into a road.”

“One can only imagine the environmental disaster and severe flooding that Maitama Extension will face during the rainy season. How do you fence off a green area and then proceed to turn a natural water channel into a road, all in the name of greed.”

“This is a blatant distortion of the Abuja Master Plan, and it raises serious questions about how Development Control could have approved such a project in the first place”.
