The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has taken drastic action against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national headquarters in Abuja, sealing off the premises over alleged unpaid ground rent. The enforcement, carried out on Monday at approximately 2:05 pm, is part of a broader crackdown on land title defaulters and non-compliant property owners in the nation's capital.
The PDP headquarters, located in Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, is among several high-profile institutions that have faced similar action, including the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Access Bank branch, and Total filling station. The FCTA's move underscores its commitment to enforcing statutory regulations and collecting revenue owed to the administration.
According to sources, the PDP had accumulated years of unpaid ground rent, prompting the FCTA to take enforcement action. The administration has been working to ensure that all property owners in the FCT comply with land use regulations and pay their ground rent obligations.
The sealing of the PDP headquarters has generated significant attention, given the party's prominence in Nigerian politics. The move is seen as a demonstration of the FCTA's resolve to enforce the law without fear or favor.
