Tinubu Dissolves Presidential Implementation Committee on Alienation of FG Properties

The government said the committee’s work had gone beyond its mandate and led to multiple lawsuits, ending a 21-month review process.

  • President Bola Tinubu approved the immediate dissolution of the Presidential Implementation Committee on the Alienation of Federal Government Properties, ending operations of a body established more than two decades ago to oversee disposal of Federal Government landed assets.
  • Established in 2000 under President Olusegun Obasanjo to oversee privatisation and lease of Federal Government landed assets, the PIC's activities eventually extended beyond its original mandate, resulting in multiple litigations across the country.
  • The committee's structure included Prof. P.T. Ahire as pioneer secretary and members from the Ministries of Transportation, Justice, Health, Agriculture, and Nigeria Police Force; a Panel of Inquiry established March 22, 2001 worked for 21 months on implementation guidance.
  • Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Lateef Fagbemi will coordinate all matters previously handled by the committee, while former Secretary B. S. Dutsin-Ma is directed to cease committee operations.
  • The dissolution takes effect November 5, 2025, consolidating Federal Government property coordination under the Attorney General's office as part of broader administrative restructuring to streamline asset management and resolve outstanding litigation.
