The Acting Coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), Hajiya Safiya Umar, has said the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) is not considering demolishing abandoned or uncompleted buildings or revoking approvals given for the development of such structures. 

The AMMC boss, while speaking to journalists during a press briefing, however decried the menace of uncompleted buildings in the FCT. 

She said security risks attached to uncompleted buildings have become a reoccurring problem to every administration, adding, however that the authorities were considering giving owners the prerogative of completing their buildings.

“But the issue of either demolishing or revoking them, there are so many committees that have sat on this, and had made several recommendations. The council is not in a position to tell you exactly the present position since it is being worked on.

“So I cannot actually tell when they (the uncompleted buildings) would be demolished or even whether they will actually be demolished. But equity and good conscience have made the FCT Administration to reach out to the owners of these structures, through newspaper advertisement in the recent past.

“I think we are still considering giving them the prerogative of seeing whether they could come in and complete their buildings, before the powers that be decide on next line of action,” she said,
