The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has resolved to revoke all land allocations within 2.4 kilometres distance around the water treatment plant in Usuma Dam around Ushafa of Bwari Area Council.

Speaking at a press conference to intimate the nation’s capital residents on the activities of the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), the Coordinator, Shuaibu Umar, Thursday stated that such action was aimed at protecting water resources in the territory from being contaminated.

He said the council observed that human activities such as indiscriminate building and quarry works around the area were contaminating the dam which is the major source of potable water in the nation’s capital.

He added that the residents were channeling solid and liquid waste directly into Usuma Dam water reservoir, making water the unhealthy for consumption.

The Coordinator, however, vowed that there was no going back to the implementation of the policy, saying that the affected owners of land titles would be compensated.

He said that with the observed human activities such as indiscriminate building, quarry activities, solid and liquid waste disposal directly into the US Umar river, as well as agriculture activities (farming, fishing, and deforestation) around the Usuma Dam reservoir, a committee was set up to investigate the prevalence of human activities threatening the FCT water Board Treatment plant and the quality of potable water for human consumption in the FCT and recommended measures for improvement.
