FCTA Cautions Developers on Building Approval

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Department of Development Control, has advised real estate developers to ensure they have genuine land titles before commencing building.

Assistant Director, Monitoring and Enforcement in the department, Mr. Nathaniel Atebije, gave the advice while speaking to newsmen in Abuja recently. He said such approvals would ensure that the building was in consonant with the land use act.

Mr. Atebije noted that building approvals in Abuja was different from what was obtained in other parts of the country, adding that the essence of strict regulation of buildings in the FCT was to make life easier for both developers and residents.

He added that structures that do not meet such approvals risked being demolished. “It is important for illegal buildings to be removed,” he said, “so that the right structures can be put in the right places at the right time by the right people.’’
