The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), has sealed up several high-profile properties in Abuja, including the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) office in Zone 5, a Total Petrol Station in Wuse, over non-payment of ground rent dating back decades.
Moreso, the FIRS office had allegedly defaulted on its statutory obligations for over 25 years, prompting the FCTA to revoke its Right of Occupancy and seal off the premises.
Similarly, a Total Filling Station was also shut down for defaulting on ground rent payments for 34 years.
In a letter dated March 13, 2025, and signed by Director of Land Administration, Chijioke Nwankwoeze, the FCTA stated that the affected property was officially allocated to Rana Tahir Furniture Nigeria Limited, not Access Bank directly.
