The luxury duplexes will soon be available for purchase by interested Nigerian buyers as the government seeks to recoup its stolen Money.
The housing minister during the ceremony says
“Today, I had the honour of hosting the hardworking Chairman of the EFCC, @officialEFCC , Mr. Olanipekun Olukoyede, as he officially handed over 753 duplexes and other apartments—located in the Cadastral Zone of the Federal Capital Territory—seized from the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, to the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
This handover is in line with the directive of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, that the recovered estate be completed and made available to the Nigerian public through a transparent and accountable process.
It marks a significant milestone in government’s effort to ensure that recovered assets are not left to waste, but are transformed into productive infrastructure that directly benefits Nigerians. As a next step, we will conduct a comprehensive integrity and structural assessment of all buildings and associated infrastructure to ensure safety and suitability for habitation. We will also complete all outstanding infrastructure, including roads, drainage systems, and other essential amenities, to make the estate fully functional”.
