FCT Minister Nyesom Wike
The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) will on November 26, 2025, commence enforcement actions on defaulters of ground rent payment and land use change/conversion fee as well as Right of Occupancy (R-of-O) and Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) bills.
The FCT Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, made this known in a statement on Thursday, November 20.
It would be recalled that the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, on May 26, following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, granted defaulters on ground rent 14 days grace to pay up their outstanding ground rent, with associated penalties.
In September, publications were also on the reviewed land use/purpose clause of properties in the FCT, giving 30 days for the payment of penalty/violation fee of N5 million and other applicable fees for land use change/conversion.

Another public notice granting defaulters of the land use/purpose clause of properties in Asokoro, Maitama, Garki, and Wuse districts in the Federal Capital City (FCC), a final grace period of 14 days to comply with the terms, and conditions of the approval for land use change and conversion were also.
According to Olayinka, the 14-day grace on payment of ground rent expired on June 9 more than five months ago, while the 14-day extension on the land use/purpose clause will end on Monday, November 24, 2025.
The minister’s spokesman stated: “The FCTA will from Wednesday, November 26, 2025, commence enforcement actions on defaulters of Ground Rent payment and Land Use Change/Conversion fee as well as Right of Occupancy (R-of-O) and Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) bills.
“The enforcement will also include all those who purchased properties from other people, but are yet to register their interests by obtaining the mandatory Minister’s Consent and registering their Deeds of Assignment.”
