He, also said the “Bill is consistent with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Land Use Act, noting that allegation of some ploy by the Federal Government to excise states’ and communal land for whatever purpose is therefore misleading.”
The Minister further appealed to stakeholders and Nigerians in general that they should have faith in the Bill as it was for the good of the Nation.
