The
Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers has condemned a situation
where landed properties are left idle for years without them being developed
and used for fruitful purposes that can aid economic growth.
According
to the Institution, which singled out the Federal Capital Territory (FCT),
Abuja, as a reference point, the development is against the vision of the
government of making the city one of the best in the world.
The
group therefore called on the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Muhammad
Bello, to revoke all landed properties allocated over a long period of time but
are yet to be developed within the city centre.
This
was the view of the National President of the Institution , Mr Jame Omeru, who
made this known during an event organized to make the FCT Minister Patron of
the NIESV in accordance with its Constitution.
“We
observed that some of the plots in the Central Area Phase11 are not developed.
It is our suggestion that a deliberate attempt should be made to revoke those
areas that are yet to be developed and be allocated to allotees who are ready
to develop immediately” Omeru said.
Omeru
further appealed to the FCT Minister to make land available to the Institution
to enable it build affordable mass housing for Nigerians.
