The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, Friday has temporarily suspended collection of Tenement Rates in the nation’s capital.

The suspension notice was issued in a circular signed by Dr. Babatope Ajakaiye, Permanent Secretary of FCT which reads:

“This suspension is also in consonance with a resolution of the House of Representatives on the matter and decisions reached at a subsequent meeting with the leadership of the House Committee on FCT, held on Monday, 31st October, 2016, which are deemed to remain in force until the National Assembly concludes the enactment of the requisite legislation.

“The FCT Administration thus enjoined all stakeholders to be law-abiding and note the suspension of Tenement Rates collection in the FCT for strict compliance.”
