Lawmakers Urge FG to Allocate Forfeited Estate to Low-Income Earners
The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Government to convert the forfeited Abuja estate linked to former Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, into housing for low- and middle-income earners, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and other vulnerable groups.
If properly managed, the estate could contribute meaningfully to addressing Nigeria’s severe housing deficit, particularly in cities like Abuja.
This resolution was made after lawmakers adopted a motion sponsored by Jafaru Gambo Leko, titled “Need for Transparent and Equitable Allocation of Forfeited Abuja Estate handed over to the Ministry of Housing by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).”
- Convert the forfeited estate into housing for low- and middle-income earners.
- Provide housing for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable groups.
