They are expected to explain why the development of a controversial property is proceeding despite clear violations of the Federal Capital Territory’s building regulations.
In a petition to the House demanding urgent intervention, a private citizen, Samuel Ajayi, argued that allowing the construction to continue would undermine the meticulous planning that shaped the FCT. The property in question is reportedly located in the Guzape Cadastral Zone.
Responding to the petition, the Committee Chairman, Mike Etaba, directed the Executive Secretary of the FCDA and the Director of Development Control to promptly address the issue. 
He said: “At this point, it is a complaint until we establish the facts therein. Every Nigerian’s voice must be heard while all public officers must be made accountable. We shall ensure fair hearing for all the parties”.
Meanwhile, the Committee has directed the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to appear in person on Tuesday 11th March, 2025, to clarify the circumstances surrounding the abandonment of the Okpai shoreline protection and landing jetty project in Delta State.
This follows a petition submitted by Lynpat Solicitors against Orbit Marine and Energy Services Ltd for failing to complete the project.
