FHA Sets Three-Month Deadline for Abuja Developers to Regularize Permits

The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has issued a stern directive to estate developers in Lugbe, Karu, and Kubwa areas of the Federal Capital Territory, giving them a three-month window to complete all necessary documentation for their construction projects.

Effective February 3, 2025, developers are required to report to the FHA headquarters at No. 26 Julius Nyerere Crescent, Asokoro, Abuja, with key documents such as Letters of Allocation, Approved Building Plans, Payment Receipts, and proof of ownership including consent letters for transferred properties.

The FHA’s announcement also declared the suspension of all ongoing developments within these estates until compliance is achieved.

In a bid to regulate and standardize real estate practices, the authority has introduced an amnesty for commercial developments that lack proper approvals, extending the deadline for these cases to May 3, 2025.

“This initiative is essential to ensure that all construction projects adhere to FHA regulations and safeguard the interests of stakeholders,” the agency stated.

Developers who fail to comply with these new requirements will face strict sanctions. The move underscores the government’s commitment to enforcing regulatory standards and ensuring that all housing developments in the capital are properly authorized and legally compliant.
