The Federal Government of Nigeria has revealed plans to commence the allocation of homes sold under the National Housing Programme (NHP) to successful applicants who bought.

The first batch of successful applicants will be contacted for collection starting from Thursday, 18 April, 2024.

This was contained in a Press statement on Monday by the office of the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Housing, Dr. Marcus Ogunbiyi.

He said the successful applicants would be contacted by the Federal Controllers of Housing and Urban Development in the respective states and the Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM).

Ogunbiyi said that the initial phase of the housing allocation under NHP was finalized following a review of the sales conditions and procedures.

He noted that the ministry received 8,925 applications, with 1,294 opting for outright payment, 2,408 choosing mortgages, 2,184 selecting rent-to-own, and 3,039 preferring installment payments.

“Applicants under the Mortgage, Rent to own and Installmental payment modes who should be subscribers to the National Housing Fund (NHF) are presently undergoing profiling”, he said.

Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary pointed out that there are no completed houses available in Abia, Lagos, Bayelsa, Rivers States, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“Allocation of houses in these states will be done upon the completion of the housing units later in the year”, he added.
