The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has revealed it plans to construct at least 7000 housing units at Mbora II District along Tudun Wada, Lugbe Federal Housing Estate, Abuja.
It was learnt that the project, named FHA Golden Jubilee Estate, is to commemorate its 50th anniversary.
The project is said to be executed in partnership with Nuga Best International and Regis Integrated Services Limited.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive of FHA, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, while speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the estate, said the housing units are expected to be delivered within 30 months with the first 1,200 units delivered in 12 months; the first phase of the project.
He reiterated the federal government’s commitment to providing mortgages to Nigerians, adding that the FHA under him was ever ready to provide housing solutions to the citizens.
“The FHA Golden Jubilee Estate will contribute approximately 7000 distinct residential units to our national housing inventory upon completion. The meticulous planning of this estate prioritises the well-being and security of its future occupants.”
However, the chairman of Nuga Best International and Regis Integrated Services Limited, Pastor Hilary Chukwuma, said the estate, which sits on about 200 hectares of land, is designed with plans for schools, hospital, recreation centres, markets, shopping malls, filling station, and police station amongst others.
