Wike claimed that if houses are built in prohibited areas, they will all collapse, regardless of the status of their owners. People who are distorting the Abuja master plan, too terrible, he remarked. Look at the trash around; what are the people collecting it for whom you are paying? Therefore, it is essential that we take the time to consider various waste management strategies. “If you know you have built where you’re not supposed to build, it would go down. Be a minister of anywhere, be an ambassador, if you know you have developed where you are not supposed to develop, your house must go down.”
