The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, has directed that the Secretariat of the dissolved Ad-hoc Committee on Sales of Federal Government Houses (SFGH) in the FCT be closed down with immediate effect.
In a statement issued to newsmen on Wednesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the Minister also approved the creation of a division in the Department of Land Administration to handle matters relating to the sale of Federal Government Houses in the FCT, which were hitherto handled by the defunct SFGH.
According to the statement, “Upon the completion of the assignments of the Ad-hoc Committee on Sales of Federal Government Houses in the FCT, the Secretariat was retained to attend to issues arising from the committee’s activities.
“With the formal closure of the Secretariat, the general public is enjoined to henceforth approach the Department of Land Administration on all issues relating to the sale of Federal Government Houses in the FCT.
“Members of the public are also urged to be mindful of the antics and activities of fraudsters who parade themselves as staff, officers and members of the defunct Ad-hoc Committee/Secretariat on SFGH, as the Committee and Secretariat no longer exist.”
