FCT Minister Nyesom Wike orders the immediate closure of the secretariat of the dissolved Ad-hoc Committee on Sales of Federal Government Houses (SFGH) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The directive is issued through a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, and takes effect from Wednesday.
Across the reports, the secretariat is described as having been kept in place after the committee finished its main assignments, including handling follow-up issues. With the shutdown, the FCT Administration tells residents to redirect housing-related inquiries to the Department of Land Administration. Nigerian Eye adds that the administration warns the public about fraudsters who may pose as committee or secretariat staff, noting that neither the committee nor its secretariat exists.
Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria also report that Wike creates a new division within the Department of Land Administration to take over responsibilities previously managed by the dissolved committee. Punch similarly focuses on the order to shut the secretariat but does not emphasize the administrative restructuring in its excerpt, while the other outlets include that detail.
