HON. MINISTER FCT 
Ezenwo Nyesom Wike CON  

 The Department of Development Control   is   the organ of the FCT Administration   that is   saddled with the responsibility of   monitoring   and ensuring compliance   with  all   development guidelines, largely,   the Abuja   Master Plan and the FCT   Regional   Development Plan as conceived   by the   founding fathers before 1979.

 

 

The Development Control was a Division under the Department of Planning and Survey before it became a full-fledged Department of its own in 2002.

Activities of Department of Development Control in the FCT have far reaching impact on the environment, health, safety and convenience of the people. While activities are painful and herculean to the people and officials respectively, they are nonetheless aimed at achieving the goals and aspirations of the founders of Abuja, the new Capital City of Nigeria, one within which people can live, work, recreate and interact with utmost ease.

There were also increased rate of traffic congestion, crime and haphazard development contrary to the aspirations of the founding fathers and concepts of the Master Plan for the new capital city. It is in this vein that the Federal Government in 2003 adopted the policy of the restoration of the Abuja Master Plan in its entirety. Read more...
