The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) carried out a demolition operation on shanties located at Kabusa Junction in Dutse District, Abuja. The Director of the Department of Development Control, Mr. Mukhtar Galadima, led the operation, explaining that the removal of these illegal structures was part of efforts to sanitize the area.
According to Galadima, the shanties had taken over the entire roundabout, negatively impacting the serene environment around the junction. He stated that the demolition was in compliance with directives from the FCT Administration Minister, Mr. Nyesom Wike, to eliminate illegal structures, particularly shanties, in the city.
The area where the shanties were located is designated for an overhead bridge, which is set to be constructed. Galadima emphasized the importance of removing illegal structures for genuine infrastructural development and improving the city’s aesthetics.
