Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), through the Department of Development Control, has intensified efforts to eliminate illegal settlements and shanties in the territory.

The department has instructed officers across the entire territory to submit a list of all shanties and informal settlements for a verification exercise.

According to the department, the goal is to identify and address illegal shanties and informal settlements that may harbour criminal activities.

The director of the Department of Development Control,  Mukhtar Galadima, who made this commitment during the removal of illegal shanties and shops at Durumi 1, said that the move is part of the administration’s broader strategy to enhance security and orderly development within the FCT.

“Looking at the rising insecurity in FCT we were mandated to clear all shanties and squatter settlements in the FCT.  So, this is in line with the directive given by the FCT Administration.

“The exercise is not limited to the city centre, we are going beyond the city centre but we have a line of direction that is why we are starting from the city centre outward. Looking at the rising insecurity in the FCT, we have been mandated to clear all shanties and illegal settlements.

 

“The new strategy is that once we clear the place, we hand it over to the responsible agency, if they fail to do their responsibility then they should be blamed not Development Control nor the Taskforce.

 

“Like this one now, once we clear it we are going to write to the News Engineering even if it is a temporary road they should make it available to the Public so that these people will not come back again,” he said.

 

The secretary of command and control, FCTA Department of Security Service, Dr Peter Olumuji described Durumi as another notorious area.
