The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development said it has begun a review process of conditions and procedures for sales of houses under the National Housing Programme.
According to The PUNCH, this was made known in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works and Housing, Mahmud Mamman on Thursday.
The development came two months after the ministry revoked provisional letters of allocation offered to subscribers of the National Housing Programme.
The ministry noted that the affected subscribers include beneficiaries of the programme from the first batch to the 14th batch.
In the statement, Mamman explained that the review process is part of the programme for the new sales of houses and interested applicants are to obtain Expression of Interest Forms while urging interested Nigerians both home and abroad to apply.
Thee statement added that interested applicants who were given a provisional offer of allocation between 2022 and 2023 are free to reapply this time.
It said, “Interested subscribers who were offered a provisional offer of allocation that elapsed between 10th March 2022 and 18th October 2023 are free to reapply by completing the Expression of Interest Form.”
The Ministry equally went further that all interested subscribers can get the expression of interest forms from the Ministry’s office across the 36 states of the Federation and the FCT without any fee.
Speaking about Nigerians in the diaspora, it asserted that they can get the Expression of Interest form from the office of the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission.
It said, “All interested subscribers are to obtain their Expression of Interest Forms from the office of the Federal Controllers of Housing and Urban Development in the 36 states of the Federal and the FCT at no cost.”
“However, Nigerians in the diaspora who are interested in subscribing to the houses are to obtain their Expression of Interest Forms from the office of the Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission.”
The statement, however, does not contain any deadline for the collection or submission of the Expression of Interest Form.
The Special Adviser to the Housing Minister on media, Mark Chieshe, when contacted for details, requested more time to provide time but was yet to do so, as at the time of filing this report.
