Kaduna govt speaks on demolition of APC secretariat
and Development Agency has given reasons it demolished APC secretariat
in the state.
Mr Ibrahim Husseini, the Director-General, the Kaduna Geographic
Information Service (KADGIS), said the demolition of the secretariat
of a faction of All Progressives Congress (APC) was not politically
motivated.
He said that KAPSUDA was currently undertaking operations across
Kaduna metropolis in compliance with its mandate to clear illegal
structures, tackling street hawking and restoring order across Kaduna.
hence the reason for the demolition.
"This morning a building on 11B Sambo Close was removed for flagrant
violations of land use and non-payment of ground rent since 2010.
"This illegal violation of use had begun to distress neighbours who
were being forced to endure an influx of thugs and blockage of the
road.''
"The Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) issued a
revocation notice of statutory right of occupancy No. KD. 16712, that
covers 11b Sambo Close in the Ungwan Rimi area.
"The appropriate notice of revocation was delivered at 28 Inuwa Wada
Road, the registered address of the company that held the title to the
property.
"The notice was also delivered to the building in question, and sent
by post to the registered address of the previous title holder.
"The land has now been allocated to KASUPDA for the purpose of
developing and maintaining a public park that will provide a green
area and a serene place for recreation in that residential
neighbourhood.
"KADGIS wishes to remind all title owners to be fastidious in
complying with the terms of their allocation. The purpose of
allocation of land cannot be wilfully altered; neither can title
holders lawfully neglect to pay their ground rents.''
The government explained that it has since 2016 been taking action on
various land related matters, including revoking all undeveloped land
titles in the state and directed that all abandoned buildings be
developed within three months of the notice.
"The Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), as the government
agency charged with ultimate responsibility on land matters in Kaduna
State, calls for the utmost cooperation by the public with all our
agencies.''
The building housing the secretariat of the faction of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) was demolished on Tuesday.
The Secretariat belongs to the faction loyal to the suspended senators
representing Kaduna Central, Sen. Shehu Sani and that of Kaduna North
zone, Sen. Suleiman Hunkuyi
