The Department of Development Control of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has hinted that it is considering relocating part of the Nuwalege community that shares a boundary with the Presidential Air Fleet, along Airport Road, Abuja.
This was disclosed by the Director of the department, Mr Mukhtar Galadima, during an engagement with members of the Nuwalege community on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to the Director, the Nigeria Air Force wrote to the FCT Minister about a month ago to request that some of the houses in the community that occupy parts of the Presidential Air Fleet plots be removed.
Galadima explained that between 150 and 200 houses have been identified to share a boundary with the Presidential Air Fleet.
The FCTA Director further revealed that upon successful relocation of occupants of the affected buildings, the FCTA would demolish them.
Galadima disclosed that the traditional ruler of the Nuwalege community has already been informed about the proposed removal of the houses sitting on the Presidential Air Fleet plots.
However, he vowed to find out from the Nigeria Air Force and the FCT administration’s Department of Resettlement and Compensation if compensation will be paid.
