Non-compliance With NHP Payment: FG Revokes Provisional House Allocations

The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has officially revoked the Offer of Provisional Allocation of Houses under the National Housing Programme (NHP) for all recipients who failed to make full and outright payment within the stipulated period of 90-days, and the additional eight weeks grace, granted.

The permanent secretary of the ministry Dr. Shuaib Muhammad Belgore, in Abuja revealed that this decision aligns with the terms and conditions outlined in Paragraph 2 of the Provisional Offer of Allocation Letter issued to beneficiaries and it reinforces the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring transparency, compliance, and efficient management of the National Housing Programme.

He emphasised that the revocation strictly applies to those who did not fulfill the payment requirements within the designated timeframe and further clarified that all beneficiaries who successfully completed their payments on or before February 28, 2025, remain unaffected by this action and advised that they should come to the Ministry to collect their Letters of Allocation and proceed to take possession of the Houses immediately.

Dr. Belgore also revealed 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for ease of reference and public accountability, the full list of individuals whose Provisional Offer of Allocation has been revoked is now available on the  Ministry’s official website https://fmhud.gov.ng and will also be published in the Daily Trust, Nation and LEADERSHIP Newspapers, in the first week of April, 2025.

The permanent secretary further explained that the Housing ministry 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.

He said 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.
