The meeting was informed, according to the information, that the government issued an order for the foundation of the FGPMA following cabinet approval in July. The department’s formation, on the other hand, takes time. The bill establishing the legal status of the newly formed department has also been sent to the National Assembly (NA).
The department’s principal purpose, it was also declared, would be to protect, retrieve, and use state land in a way that generates money and increases the property’s value. The department was created when several federal government entities failed to safeguard the property, resulting in a major chunk of state land being occupied and encroached upon illegally.
