… Summons Management<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kogi House of Assembly on Monday, summoned cement manufacturing firm, BUA Group, over a 50,000-hectare land it acquired 10 years ago but had yet to pay for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The lawmakers gave the summon at a public hearing of one of its ad-hoc committees held at a hotel in Lokoja since its complex was gutted by fire last Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Deputy Speaker of the House, Mr Alfa Momoh-Rabiu, who read the summons after listening to the acting Surveyor-General of the State, Mr Salihu Mustapha, expressed shock at the attitude of BUA Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe are having problems with the BUA Group over 50,000 hectares of land it acquired in 2012 and even obtained a Certificate of Occupancy but has not paid a kobo for the land.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe have written to the group several times but it has not responded to any of the letters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cNo compensation has been paid to the communities that own the expanse of land,\u2019\u2019 the acting surveyor-general said at the public hearing.<\/p>

The ad-hoc committee chairman, Mr Umar Tenimu, , said it was an offence for BUA Group to hold the land for more than 10 years without paying for it.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe group should be summoned to come and explain why it refused to pay for the land and why it refused to compensate the community involved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He added that if BUA Group refused to pay for the land and compensate the community, the government would revoke the C of O.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When contacted, a BUA Group Corporate Commutations official, Mr Sunday Ogieva, said he could not comment on the issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
