The Federal Government has unveiled plans for the disbursement of 753 housing units recently acquired through forfeiture by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Dangiwa, disclosed this on Monday at the sidelines of the inauguration of the board of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) in Abuja.
According to the minister, the houses were handed over to the Ministry of Housing under the directive of President Bola Tinubu, and the ministry has since taken full possession of the properties.
Dangiwa stated that the next step was to conduct a thorough integrity test on the buildings to assess their structural soundness, alongside an evaluation of the estate’s infrastructure and auxiliary facilities.
