He said the estate will be serviced with standard infrastructure that characterises FHA development.
“Within the framework of federal housing authority, we remain resolute in our commitment to advance the government’s housing delivery initiative, leveraging the potential of the construction industry to stimulate employment opportunities and foster economic diversification,” he said.

“Our residential location is now expected to fulfil our multiple needs in a seamless manner.
“FHA and Nuga Best International and Regis Integrated services LP is aware that housing is rapidly evolving.”
