Former FCT Minister, Dr. Aliyu Moddibo Umar, has cleared the air over
the genesis of the controversy surrounding the plot of land allocated
by the FCT Administration for the building of the continental
secretariat of African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM) saying that he
allocated the plot to AFLPM in 2008.According to Moddibo, who served as Minister of FCT between 2007 and 2008, it was his successor, Alhaji Adamu Aliero, who changed the concept of the land and re-allocated it to Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation (WAYEF) belonging to former First Lady, Hajiya Turai Yar’ Adua two years later.
