The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike has issued a demolition order for the Nuwalege community near Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Wike, a former Governor of Rivers State gave the order based on a request from the Nigerian Air Force and instructed the Department of Development Control to clear the area for the presidential fleet project.
The decision was communicated by Director Mukhtar Galadima during a community engagement event. The Nigerian Air Force had approached the FCT administration regarding their need to relocate the village as it falls within the presidential fleet plots.
He said, “About a month ago, the authority of the Nigerian Air Force wrote to the honourable minister on their needs and desire to remove this village, because it is part of the presidential fleet plots. “So, the minister in his wisdom requested them to allow the FCT administration to handle it, because it’s the responsibility of FCT administration..
