The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has waived all Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) processing fees for the Nigerian Law School's Abuja campus located in Bwari. The waiver, granted immediately, covers the entire C-of-O application process for the institution. Wike made the announcement during a meeting with the school's management in Abuja. He also declared an emergency on the construction of staff quarters and other essential infrastructure at the campus. The minister directed the FCT Urban Area Council to fast-track development projects critical to the school's operations. No timeline was given for the completion of the housing projects.
Nyesom Wike declares an emergency on staff housing at the Nigerian Law School while only waiving C-of-O fees, not addressing delays in actual construction. The staff currently living in substandard conditions in Bwari will remain affected until physical buildings are completed. A fee waiver does nothing to shelter those already on site without functional quarters. The declaration of emergency without a delivery plan risks being symbolic over substance.
