 The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has said the FCT Administration would be fair and just in allocating plots earmarked for religious worship centres in the Abuja Master Plan.
 The minister stated this while receiving a delegation of the Catholic Community in Abuja, led by the Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan.  Malam Bello noted that the Abuja Master Plan makes provision for the need of every sector in the society and reiterated that his administration would make sure the ones that belong to worship centres are equitably allocated amongst all religious faiths in tune with the Change Agenda of the Federal Government.
 He said, “Despite the huge demands for land in the FCT, the administration will try as much as possible to ensure that plots meant for religious organizations are left for that purpose so that everybody is given a sense of belonging in the Territory.”
 “The planners of Abuja have made plots available for religious bodies in all of the districts in the Federal Capital City and the current FCT Administration intends to implement its land allocation policy based on this plan”, he emphasized.
