Residents of Prince and Princess Estate in Abuja have called on the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to intervene in the illegal structures being erected by the developer of the estate as well as fast-track the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy C of O to them.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja over the weekend, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Amb. Mohammed Ibrahim, noted that the estate is valued at N200 billion with over 10,000 occupants and about 1,500 residential accommodations.
He said, “Some of us have bought houses here for over 20 years yet have no certificate of occupancy and we have also been exposed to illegal levies, imposition of facility management fees, as well as obstruction on provision of security services, amongst others.
Also, there are illegal structures being erected in the estate, which are not on the initial master plan thereby obstructing the approved plan by the FCDA.

They are therefore calling in the FCT minister to order, an ”Inspection of the estate by the relevant team from the FCDA to verify various contraventions to prevent attendant negative consequences to the interest of residents in the estate, as well as commence the direct process for issuance of Certificate of Occupancy to the house owners with the supervision of a designated officer from FCDA for implementation within a specific timeframe.”
When Daily Trust reached out to the developer, Mr Ukachukwu through phone calls and text messages, he didn’t respond to any.
