AGIS to allottees: Clear your rents, bills or blame selves

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has extended the deadline for payment of arrears of ground rents and sundry bills to August 9 in order to afford property owners to clear them.
Director of Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS), Dr.
Isa Ibrahim Jalo, who stated this yesterday while inspecting some facilities of the AGIS Customer Service, noted that it was sequel to the expiration of the deadline given earlier.
He has, therefore, advised all plot allottees, property owners as well as beneficiaries of the sale of federal government houses in Abuja should take advantage of this window provided by the administration.
The director reiterated that the settlement of these outstanding ground rents and sundry bills before the new expiration date would save the affected persons the embarrassment that may come out of their inaction.
He added that all concerned allottees and beneficiaries who failed to clear their bills within this grace period would have themselves to blame.
“Failure to clear these outstanding ground rents and sundry bills will attract necessary penalties for default, which may include the revocation of such titles as stipulated in the extant laws.” Jalo further advised that every property owner should be responsive, as government needs these payments to provide infrastructure, social amenities and other services to the citizenry
