FCT Revokes Jabi Lake Park Allocation After 20 Years of Neglect

The FCT Minister says the government revoked the Jabi Lake Park allocation after the developer left the site untouched for two decades. He warned that public land cannot sit idle or be misused. During a briefing in Abuja, he described shanties and informal businesses on the neglected lakefront. The original developer, Suburban, was asked to provide proof of funding and a clear project timeline. Under new rules, all land allocations must meet strict deadlines or face revocation. The administration has started reclaiming abandoned parks and gardens and is reviewing over 2,000 land disputes to restore public recreational spaces.
