The management of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has ordered the suspension of all ongoing development work in its estates in Lugbe, Karu, and Kubwa in the Federal Capital Territory.

Oyetunde Ojo, FHA managing director and chief executive, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja. FHA’s head of public affairs, kennedy Chugelu, signed the statement.

Mr Ojo said the directive covered all construction works within the FHA estates in the aforementioned areas.

“Consequently, all developers in these aforementioned DGA estates are to report to the FHA Head Office at No 26, Julius Nyerere Crescent, Asokoro, Abuja, from February 3,” he said.

He said the developers are to come with letters of allocation and approved building plans.

Mr Ojo said the developers were to also come with payment receipts and all documents to prove ownership, including evidence of change of ownership such as consent letters.

He added that those involved in commercial development without approvals had been given three months, with effect from Monday, to regularise their documents and obtain all requisite approvals.

He said strict sanctions would be applied to developers who disregarded the directives.
