FCTThe Nigerian Senate has expressed displeasure over the erection of buildings on green areas in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on FCT, Senator Dino Melaye, raised an alarm on Thursday at the upper house of the National Assembly in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

He said that the beauty of the city centre had been tampered with by greedy officials from supervisory agencies ‎saddled with the responsibility of maintaining the master plan of the nation’s capital.

The Senate committee then directed that contractors putting up buildings on green areas in the FCT would have to put their projects on hold until their approval documents are reviewed.

The directive came subsequent to the Senate committee’s visit to some ongoing building projects in Maitama district in Abuja.
