<h2>The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says the FCT Administration will build 10,000 low-income houses for&nbsp;the poor&nbsp;in the territory.</h2>

Wike disclosed this in Abuja on&nbsp;Thursday,&nbsp;during the Ministerial Sectoral Update on the performance of President Bola Tinubu’s administration in the last year.

He said&nbsp;that the&nbsp;project would&nbsp;be captured&nbsp;in the 2025&nbsp;budget,&nbsp;under President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Cities” project. He explained that FCTA would provide the needed infrastructure to build the houses and allocate them to people who could not afford to&nbsp;build, stressing that they were not for the big men.

The minister described land allocation as one of the most&nbsp;difficult&nbsp;problems in the FCT land administration, adding that the department&nbsp;was infested&nbsp;with corruption.

“As I speak to you as a minister, it is one area&nbsp;that&nbsp;I have been battling&nbsp;with.&nbsp;But, I will defeat them.

“Even to make land affordable for people to build houses, which is what we are supposed to do, is a problem,” he said.

Wike frowned at the situation where&nbsp;developers ask for 300 hectares of land to build 20,000 houses&nbsp;and&nbsp;after&nbsp;getting the allocation, they would not&nbsp;build&nbsp;the houses but allocate the land to people to make money.

He said: “We cannot allow this. It is fraud&nbsp;and&nbsp;then the person brings politics and religion to the issue.

“But we are equal to the task. Just be convinced that we have the political will to implement and do what is right.”
