The Director of Land Administration, Chijioke Nwankwoeze, announced the development during the official inauguration of the committees, held in Abuja on Saturday.
According to a statement issued by the Assistant Director of Information and Customer Service, Badaru Yakassai, the committees were created in line with directives from the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, following “alarming discoveries” of procedural violations.
“These infractions include unauthorized alterations of sale mandates, flawed verification processes, delayed payments, and poor documentation,” the statement read. It also cited a lack of coordination between departments as one of the systemic failures being addressed.
Nwankwoeze emphasized that the Minister approved the committees with a firm mandate: to restore order, transparency, and compliance with the original 2003–2005 monetisation policy, which governed the sale of government properties in the FCT.
