By Sunday Abah, Abuja
The Chairman of Gwagwalada Area Council, Hon. Kasim Mohammed Ikwa, has warned that all illegally constructed corner shops in Zuba will be demolished, condemning the unauthorised sale and development of such structures.
Zuba is a major border and gateway community in the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria, known as a key transit nexus connected to Niger State and major northern and southern highways.
Ikwa gave the warning during an unscheduled inspection of affected areas around Zuba Roundabout, behind Living Faith Church, Car Wash, Fruit Market and Panteker Market on Saturday.
He said the inspection followed reports of ongoing illegal sales and construction of corner shops in parts of Zuba.
The chairman condemned the activities of individuals erecting shops on land that does not belong to them.
According to him, many of the illegal structures have prevented the rightful owners from accessing and developing their properties.
He directed those responsible for selling the illegal shop spaces to refund buyers immediately, stressing that the council would not tolerate fraudulent land transactions or unauthorised developments.
Ikwa also disclosed that work on the Zuba Water Project would soon commence, noting that some of the illegal structures had been erected along the proposed pipeline route.
He warned that allowing such structures to remain would obstruct the laying of pipes and delay the project.
The chairman reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to enforcing development regulations, protecting the rights of genuine property owners and ensuring that critical infrastructure projects are executed without obstruction for the benefit of residents.
