How I revoked Julius Berger land after dinner with MD- Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has recounted how he revoked the title of an abandoned land allocated to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc after having a dinner with the MD of the company.

Wike made this disclosure while speaking on Monday, October 21, at the official flag-off ceremony of the Design and Construction of 40 Judges’ Quarters at the nation’s capital city.

The FCT minister stated that 70% of funds for the project had been released after its approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) last month, adding that out of the 40 units to be constructed, 20 will be allocated to the FCT High Court, 10 to the Federal High Court, and 10 to the Court of Appeal.

Addressing the CJN, Wike recalled how the land for the proposed quarters was secured.

“My Lord, let me bring to your notice. You have seen this land here. When we were looking for where to get land to build. I was driving around looking for empty land and I got here and saw this empty land.

I saw the big post ‘Julius Berger’. I didn’t talk. I called the director of lands, ‘who owns that land?’ And he said Julius Berger. When was it allocated? He said about 15, 20 years ago. 15, 20 years ago? Nothing has been done? I didn’t bother.

So, I invited the MD Julius Berger. He came and we had dinner. I didn’t talk about the land. The next day, he was in the office and he saw the revocation letter as a matter of public interest.

He called me and said ‘but I had dinner with you’. I said ‘yes; we had dinner but we didn’t discuss the land’.

How will the government allocate land for more than 20 years for organisation to develop and they did not develop it? Thank God they did not develop it and now we can have it,” Wike told the gathering.
