Effective April 21, 2025, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has approved comprehensive reforms in land administration to improve transparency, revenue, and development.
Key Highlights:
- Area Council Allocations Regularised:
Over 250,000 pending land documents from Area Councils to be vetted; valid ones will get statutory titles. Allottees will have 60 days to complete payments or forfeit the offer.
- Mass Housing Titles for Buyers:
Properties in Mass Housing estates to be titled directly in favour of buyers, not just developers. New framework begins April 21, 2025.
- Development Deadline Set:
All land allottees must develop plots within 2 years of receiving the Right of Occupancy (R-of-O), or risk revocation.
- 21-Day Payment Window for New R-of-Os:
Allottees must pay all required fees and submit acceptance within 21 days of offer. Late payments will be invalid.
These reforms aim to curb land speculation, eliminate racketeering, and fast-track infrastructure and housing delivery in the FCT.
