Nigerian govt must take over, sell empty Abuja houses – Buhari’s adviser

The Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property on Tuesday said that the federal government may soon take over empty houses in Abuja and sell them.

The chairman of the panel, Okoi Obono-Obla, who is also the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution, made this known when the Say no Campaign, a civil society organisation, paid a courtesy call on him in Abuja.

He said that there was need for the government to collaborate with civil society groups in order to search out properties of looters of national treasury.

“I want the houses taken over, that is where CSOs will have to work together with us.

“We have to take over those building and sell them and maybe put the money into education for our children.

“I was appointed to work to galvanise the anti-corruption war this assignment is a very important one and I will do it well,” he said.
