Wike was accompanied by a mammoth crowd into the building of FCTA.

At his maiden news conference, Nyesom Wike  pledged to restore the city’s master plan, and that land allottees who had been given Certificates of Occupancy but failed to develop them would also lose their lands to give way to those ready to build.

He said: “If you know you have built where you are not supposed to build, it will go down”,
