The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has suspended construction activities at its estates in Lugbe, Karu, and Kubwa areas of the Federal Capital Territory, while giving developers a three-month deadline to regularise their construction approvals.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the FHA management directed all developers within these estates to report to the FHA headquarters at No. 26 Julius Nyerere Crescent, Asokoro, Abuja, starting February 3, 2025.
“Developers are required to present key documents, including letters of allocation, approved building plans, payment receipts, and other proofs of ownership, such as consent letters for those who have transferred property ownership.
“The suspension of all ongoing developments in these areas is to ensure compliance with FHA regulations. Developers must submit their documents to us for verification and approval,” the FHA stated.
The statement also noted that the FHA has introduced a special amnesty for owners of commercial developments lacking the necessary approvals.
“Under the amnesty, developers have until May 3, 2025, to regularise their property documents and obtain the required permits.
“This amnesty provides an opportunity for commercial property owners who have not completed their approvals to rectify the situation within three months,” it added.
