The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Department of Outdoor Advertisement and Signage (DOAS) has uncovered 1,300 illegal telecommunications Mass and Towers in Abuja.
The Director of DOAS, Dr. Babagana Adam, who made the disclosure at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja said they were erected without regards to the urban and town planning laws of the city.
“When we came recently, we discovered that we have over 1,300 illegal Telecommunications masts and towers within the Federal Capital Territory.
“In fact, recently, without mentioning the company, we have to bring down 126 illegal towers without documentation for them.
“So, we have to regularize them and where they don’t meet with the regulations, we have to decommission to the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC),” he said.
Adam said that the department is targeting to make no fewer than N650 million in 2022.
