Nigeria’s Senate has set up an investigative committee to address the recent demolitions in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT) which has left many homeless.
In recent months, housing structures have been demolished by the Federal Capital Territory Administration ( FCTA) under the alleged orders of the FCT minister Nyesom Wike.
The Senate on Thursday however has set up a committee who will also invite the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to appear before it to explain the reasons behind the demolitions.
The motion, which was moved by Senator Ireti Kingibe of the FCT Senatorial District, expressed concern over the illegal demolition of structures in the nation’s capital and called for an immediate stop to further demolitions.
The Senate resolved to set up an investigative committee to look into the demolitions and report back to it within a specified timeframe.
