Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has finally opened on the N6 trillion unpaid ground rent.

Senate ad hoc committee chaired by Senator Adamu Aliero mandated to probe and recover the over N6 trillion accrued from the non-payment of ground rent from the property built and allocated to various beneficiaries by the federal government visited him recently and he told them tha:

“The Presidential Implementation Committee, PIC, that issued receipts on the property is under the purview of the SGF, not me.”

“As long as your letter seeks to ask us to account for the PIC, they don’t report to us. I will advise you to direct your enquiries about what the PIC does to the SGF. I cannot account for them since the organisation does not report to me.”
