The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) will soon commence investigations into the ownership of unoccupied houses in the Federal Capital Territory.
\nThe agency says the move is a result of the increase in the number of expensive and unoccupied houses in the FCT.
\nAccording to the Federal Capital Territory Administration, the housing deficit for the nation\u2019s capital now hovers around 1.7 and two million.
\nIt also says at least 600 abandoned buildings have been identified by the authorities, with most of them located in Gwarimpa, Wuse, Garki, Maitama, Asokoro and Apo.
\nThe buildings are, however, above the means of most civil servants, resulting in them seeking more affordable accommodation in the outskirts of the city.
\nDirector, FCT Development Control Department, Muktar Galadima, explained that they were making moves to take over the property.
\nHe said if the Federal Executive Council intervenes and they acquire some of these property, it would be a way to solve Nigeria\u2019s housing deficit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
