The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has given a deadline to individuals who unlawfully constructed buildings at the Abuja Technology Village to move elsewhere or face legal consequences.
It was gathered that the ultimatum was issued on Monday during an inspection of the site in Pyakasa, Abuja.
Wike was accompanied to the site earlier today by the Minister of Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji.
The FCT minister stated that the Federal Government had in 2015 offered a settlement to the unauthorized occupants and instructed them to relocate.
