Failure to do so may result in the revocation of their titles for the sake of their interests.
Some of the owners of the plots are cooperate organisations, party secretariat, and banks, among others.
The advertisement said: “The FCT Administration hereby reminds the general public, particularly allottees of land(s), within the FCT of their obligations to the FCTA as stipulated in the covenanted terms of the Certificate of Occupancy to wit ‘to pay the advance, without the demand to the Honourable Minister, FCT the annual ground rent from the first day of January of each year’.
“All allottees, property owners as well as beneficiaries of the sale of Federal Government Houses in the FCT who have not paid or settled their outstanding ground rents within the earlier two weeks period are advised in their interest to ensure payment within 2 weeks period from the date of publication, failure of which such titles may be revoked.”
