The senate on Wednesday, February 10 summoned Bala Muhammed, the immediate past minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) over illegal allocation of lands.
Dino Melaye, the Chairman of the committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT) disclosed this while briefing newsmen in the senate.
Also the senate summoned not only Muhammed Bala, but all other concerned actors on land in FCT which include directors of survey and mapping, urban and regional development, development control and land administration.
Melaye added that the concerned directors directors affirmed that the allocation of those areas were done with impunity
“Aspiration of the founding father has been utterly wrecked by the over-ambitious administration of FCT, most especially the immediate past Minister Bala.
“The decision of stop work orders was predicated upon the committee’s assessment. It is important therefore to note that the committee’s decision was guided by due process and the rule of law,” he said.
However, Senator Melaye further reminded the FCT administration that this eighth senate is guided by change and will not condole misappropriation of funds or misapplication of the laws as the case may be.
“With this administration of change, it is no longer going to be business as usual. This is what justice demands in this circumstance to right the wrongs,” he said.
Also, Melaye said that the committee strongly shares the opinion that the Abuja master plan needs to be adhered the city made beautiful by preserving it’s green areas.
It will be recalled that Dino Melaye on Friday, February 5, faulted allocation of lands in Abuja to former president Goodluck Jonathan.
He made the allegation during a budget defence meeting between his committee and Muhammed Bello, the FCT minister who claimed that the area was supposed to provide tourist attraction for foreign visitors.
However, Bala reacted to reports saying that throughout the tenure of the previous administration, all allocations of land in the FCT were based on professional advice, availability of layouts and the provisions of the Land Use Act.
He also said that in reference to the Ministerial Hill, which the Senate Committee gave the Department of Development Control directive to stop work, the area was not designated as recreational area or park but was designated as underdeveloped among many other reasons.
