FCTA Moves Against Defaulters as Abuja Property Charges Enforcement Begins

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has initiated enforcement actions against over 1,000 property owners in Abuja for failing to pay their property charges. The affected properties span residential, commercial, and undeveloped lands across the city, highlighting the administration’s resolve to tackle longstanding payment defaulters.

Officials from the FCTA stated that property owners who have outstanding bills are being formally contacted and given a deadline to settle their dues. Those who fail to comply may face legal actions, including the possible seizure of properties or other administrative penalties.

This enforcement drive is part of a wider FCTA strategy to improve revenue collection and ensure that all property owners meet their statutory obligations. Authorities emphasized that compliance is critical for the development and maintenance of public infrastructure and services in the capital.

The FCTA also urged residents to regularly check their property accounts and settle any pending charges promptly to avoid penalties. The administration reassured the public that the measures are aimed at fostering fairness and accountability in property management across Abuja.
