The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has revoked the offer of provisional allocation of houses under the National Housing Programme (NHP) for the inability of the recipients to make full and outright payments within 90 days.
In a statement, Director, Press and Public Relations, Salisu Haiba said that the decision aligns with the terms and conditions outlined in paragraph 2 of the provisional offer of allocation letter issued to beneficiaries, reinforcing the ministry’s commitment to ensuring transparency, compliance, and efficient management of the National Housing Programme.
According to him, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Shuaib Muhammad Belgore, emphasised that the revocation strictly applies to those who did not fulfill the payment requirements within the designated time frame.
He further clarified that all beneficiaries who successfully completed their payments on or before February 28, 2025, remain unaffected by the action, advising that they should come to the ministry to collect their letters of allocation and proceed to take possession of the houses immediately.
He added that for ease of reference and public accountability, the full list of individuals whose provisional offer of allocation has been revoked is now available on the ministry’s official website and will be published in some national dailies in the first week of April 2025.
“The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development remains dedicated to providing accessible and affordable housing to Nigerians, and this measure is part of ongoing efforts to streamline the housing allocation process for greater efficiency and fairness.
“Affected individuals and members of the public are advised to visit the website of the ministry, check the list in the selected newspapers, or contact the Director, Public Buildings and Housing Development of the Ministry, Room A221 at the ministry’s headquarters, Mabushi, Abuja,” he said.
The issuance of the first batch offer of provisional allocation began in April 2024, following the review of the conditions and procedures for the sale of houses under the NHP, conveyed on December 29, 2023, via a circular Ref no. DPBH/645/1/43.
