• FCTA Extends Deadline for Ground Rent Arrears Payment

The Federal Capital Territory Administration has approved the extension of the period for the payment of arrears of ground rents and sundry bills to August 9, 2018 in order to allow property owners in the FCT who have not cleared the bills to do so.

The FCT Director of the Abuja Geographic Information System, Dr Isa Ibrahim Jalo, who dropped the hint on Monday while inspecting some facilities of the AGIS Customer Service, stated that the extension was sequel to the expiration of the earlier deadline.

The director warned all plot allottees, property owners as well as beneficiaries of the sale of Federal Government houses in Abuja to take advantage of the window provided by the FCTA.

Jalo reiterated that the settlement of the outstanding ground rents and sundry bills by August 9 would save the affected persons the embarrassment that might come out of their inaction.

He emphasised that all concerned who failed to clear their bills within the grace period would have themselves to blame.
