Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja

The federal government yesterday announced the revocation of the offer of provisional allocation of houses under the National Housing Programme (NHP) for all recipients who failed to make full and outright payment within the stipulated period of 90 days.

The Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, in a statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Salisu Haiba, said the applicants also flouted the additional eight-weeks grace granted them by the government.

According to the federal government, the decision aligns with the terms and conditions outlined in paragraph 2 of the provisional offer of allocation letter issued to beneficiaries, reinforcing the ministry’s commitment to ensuring transparency, compliance, and efficient management of the national housing programme.

Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, emphasised that the revocation strictly applies to those who did not fulfill the payment requirements within the designated time frame.

He further clarified that all beneficiaries who successfully completed their payments on or before February 28, 2025, remain unaffected by the action, advising that they should come to the ministry to collect their Letters of Allocation and proceed to take possession of the houses immediately.

“For ease of reference and public accountability, the full list of individuals whose Provisional Offer of Allocation has been revoked is now available on the  ministry’s official website https://fmhud.gov.ng and will also be published in the newspapers, in the first week of April, 2025.

“The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development remains dedicated to providing accessible and affordable housing to Nigerians, and this measure is part of ongoing efforts to streamline the housing allocation process for greater efficiency and fairness.

“Affected individuals and members of the public are advised to visit the website of the ministry, check the list in the selected newspapers or contact the Director, Public Buildings and Housing Development of the Ministry, Room A221 at the Ministry’s Headquarters, Mabushi, Abuja,” the statement added.

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed support for Nigeria’s Single Window (NSW) Project, an evolving initiative designed to streamline trade processes, reduce bottlenecks, enhance transparency, and increase government revenue.

    The multilateral lender’s backing for the NSW Project was conveyed in Abuja, Thursday by its Technical Assistance Advisor for Revenue Administration 2, Marco Antonio, who led a delegation from the IMF Fiscal Affairs Department for a meeting with the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun.

    The meeting highlighted the IMF’s strong support for the Single Window Trade Project, which aims to streamline trade processes, increase government revenue, and enhance the ease of doing business.

    Antonio praised the NSW project, among other reforms, and sought to know how the IMF could provide further assistance for its successful implementation. 

    According to a statement released by the finance ministry by its Director, Information and Public Relations, Mohammed Manga, the minister disclosed that the project is well underway, with approvals secured, a dedicated team in place, and a structured implementation plan.

    He underscored the initiative’s potential to catalyse export growth, particularly with Nigeria on course to achieve 1.2 million barrels of daily oil production. 

    Describing the project as a transformative economic tool, Edun reiterated the government’s commitment to its success, citing the strategic leadership of President Tinubu and the support of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) as key to its execution.

    “As Nigeria continues on its path to economic transformation, the Single Window Trade Project is poised to play a pivotal role. 

    “With the IMF’s endorsement, this initiative is expected to enhance trade efficiency, increase revenue and stimulate economic growth, positioning Nigeria as a beacon of trade excellence in Africa,” the finance ministry said.
