  "summary": "The Federal Capital Territory Administration has reported that 26,272 Certificates of Occupancy have been signed by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike since President Bola Tinubu assumed office in May 2023. According to the FCT Administration, this figure represents a significant increase of 17,575 compared to the 8,697 Certificates of Occupancy produced and signed between 2010 and 2023.\n\nThe FCT Administration attributes this achievement to efforts to ease doing business in the territory, in line with President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.\n\nThe certificates are important for businesses as they can serve as collateral for commercial loans, mortgages, and business expansion. The FCT Administration has streamlined the process, allowing land allottees to receive their Certificates of Occupancy more efficiently.",
