Why I revoked technology village, UniAbuja lands Wike
The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has clarified the FCT Administration’s decision to revoke land allocations at the Abuja Technology Village, stating that the move was essential to pave the way for the ambitious Abuja City Walk project, modeled after the renowned Dubai City Walk.
Speaking during his monthly media chat in Abuja on Monday, Wike said the supposed investors of the Abuja Technology Village had failed to develop the site as per the agreement entered with the government. Instead, the minister alleged, they were engaged in land-grabbing activities.
He said, “The FCTA provided the infrastructure for more than 20 years, and nothing has been done. If you go there, they have rented out the place. You will see where NNPC tankers are parked, and they collect money. So many people are now claiming to have C of Os. I said okay, I must resolve this problem. There is nothing called Abuja Technology Village,” Barr. Wike asserted.
