Why We Remove Building On Sambo Close In Kaduna – KAPSUDA

Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), on Tuesday, said that Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency (KAPSUDA), removed the building on 11B Sambo Close for flagrant violations of land use and non-payment of ground rent since 2010.

In a statement issued by KADGIS Director-General,Ibrahim Husseini, explained further that the illegal violation of use had begun to distress neighbours who were being forced to endure an influx of thugs and blockage of the road.

Recall that,in the early hours Tuesday, factional secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi was demolished. However, KADGIS statement in response to the demolition exercise said:

”The Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency (KAPSUDA) is currently undertaking operations across Kaduna metropolis in compliance with its mandate. In partnership with sister agencies, KASUPDA is clearing illegal structures, tackling street hawking and restoring order across Kaduna.” This morning a building on 11B Sambo Close was removed for flagrant violations of land use and non-payment of ground rent since 2010. This illegal violation of use had begun to distress neighbors who were being forced to endure an influx of thugs and blockage of the road.”

 “The Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) issued a revocation notice of statutory right of occupancy No. KD. 16712, that covers 11b Sambo Close in the Ungwan Rimi area. The appropriate notice of revocation was delivered at 28 Inuwa Wada Road, the registered address of the company that held the title to the property. The notice was also delivered to the building in question, and sent by post to the registered address of the previous title holder.”

 KADGIS added:”The land has now been allocated to KASUPDA for the purpose of developing and maintaining a public park that will provide a green area and a serene place for recreation in that residential neighborhood. KADGIS wishes to remind all title owners to be fastidious in complying with the terms of their allocation. The purpose of allocation of land cannot be willfully altered; neither can title holders lawfully neglect to pay their ground rents. 

“Since 2016, the government has been taking action on various land related matters, including revoking all undeveloped land titles in the state and directed that all abandoned buildings be developed within three months of the notice. The Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS), as the government agency charged with ultimate responsibility on land matters in Kaduna State, calls for the utmost cooperation by the public with all our agencies.” KADGIS
